They don't contribute to ride quality or overall refinement – in fact you could argue just the opposite, at least indirectly. Yet automakers spend a great deal of time and resources to ensure their cars ...

The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe is going racing, and it has its eyes set on conquering the DTM series.

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe DTM ...

Who would you think would hold the record for the world's longest drift? Tanner Foust in a Scion? Sam Hubinette in a Dodge? Ken Block in a Subaru or a Ford? Maybe Vaughn Gittin, Jr. in a Mustang? If you guessed the latter, you would be right. Or at least you would have been up until last week. Over the weekend at Mercedes-Benz World at Brooklands in the ...

Entry-Level Benz Finally Drops A Set Of Doors For those that remember it, the secretary-special two-door CLC hatchback, built on last-generation C-class bits and pieces, was rather embarrassing for Mercedes-Benz.
