Mercedes-Benz ML Owner Nudges his Way Through Traffic


No one feels comfortable waiting in traffic for hours but that doesn't mean you have the right to push your way through like the driver of the Mercedes-Benz ML seen in the following dashcam video.

The owner of the German SUV obnoxiously squeezes his (or her) way between parked and moving cars hitting a Lada sedan in the process. What's more surprising is that the ML driver couldn't care less about the damages caused and continued to drive!

Luckily there was more traffic up ahead and the owner of the Lada was able to catch up with the ML.

2012 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Five-Door Hatchback Filmed Totally Undisguised!


A bicyclist –no, we didn't make a mistake- captured footage of the all-new 2012 Mercedes-Benz A-Class hatchback while riding with his team from El Golfo to Playa Blanca on the Spanish island of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.

It seems that the German premium carmaker was at the island to shoot video and pictures of the luxury compact model for its press material.

The A-Class seen here is the five-door hatchback model, which will be the first body style to be launched onto the market. Mercedes has already confirmed that the 5-door version will make its world premiere at the 2012 Geneva Auto Show in early March. A sportier looking three-door model will follow, possibly withing the next year.

Tough Guy Learns a Lesson About Road Rage and Hitting an Old Man


We strongly oppose any form of violence on the road or anywhere else, for that matter, but what happens when you actually see someone attacking another person? Obviously, there's not one answer to that question as it all depends on the circumstances and whether or not someone's life is in danger.

In yet another wild incident from Russia that was captured on camera, a middle-age man in a Mercedes-Benz was squabbling with an elderly man in a hatchback.

The talk quickly escalated and the person in the Merc stepped out of the car and began attacking the other driver, initially punching and then kicking him with all his strength.

At that point, a young man in an Audi SUV stopped over and came to the scene and said something to the Mercedes driver who brushed him away. Seconds later the Audi driver runs back with a metal bat in his hand and whacks the tough guy on his legs putting him down. He then rushes to the Mercedes and breaks the mirror and windows before returning to his Audi and driving off!

2012 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Hatchback Scooped on Film


Our crafty spy shooters turned to video mode to capture the upcoming 2012 Mercedes-Benz A-Class model during winter testing in Europe.

The prototypes retain the usual camouflage though the video footage provides a better view of the new A-Class model's proportions and stance.

For the third generation A-Class, Mercedes-Benz has changed the formula switching to a regular platform and a traditional five-door body style that will be followed later on by a three-door model, which will resemble the A-Class Concept shown in New York and Shanghai last year.

We Spy the New Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake on Film


At the Auto China motorshow in 2010, Mercedes-Benz previewed the design language of the current, second-generation CLS sports saloon with the Shooting Brake concept car, which generally received positive reviews.

It didn’t take long for the premium carmaker to announce its intention to expand the range of the CLS series with a second body style based on that study, while the company even confirmed that the Shooting Brake model would arrive in dealerships during 2012.

Over the months that followed, we saw several scoops of the CLS Shooting Brake, and now our spy shooters travelled all the way to northern Sweden to film the sleek five-door model during winter testing.

Mercedes-Benz Releases New Video Footage of 2012 SLK 55 AMG


After the recent track footage of the C 63 AMG Coupé Black Series being thrown around the corners of the Laguna Seca circuit in California, Mercedes-Benz's AMG division released a new video of another product it launched this year, the 2012 SLK 55 AMG.

Unfortunately, the clip was filmed on public roads so it's far more politically correct (…if you get our drift) than what you'd expect from a rear-wheel drive sports car like the new SLK 55 AMG that boasts a 5.5-liter V8 engine with 422HP and 540 Nm.

Nevertheless, feel free to check it out for yourself in the video that follows after the break.

New Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe Black Series Flexes its Muscles on the Laguna Seca Circuit


The sinister beast that is the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe Black Series is the kind of car that is arguably best enjoyed in its natural habitat, which is none other than the racetrack.

To prove this, the German firm took the most powerful production version of its C-Class Coupe to the Laguna Seca circuit in California for some quick laps and shared the video with us.

Keep on Burning: Mika Häkkinen and Jenson Button Burn Their Initials on the Ashpalt with a C63 AMG


It's a strange cocktail to say the least: two of the world's finest professional drivers, two-time F1 champion Mika Häkkinen and 2009 F1 champ Jenson Button, get into a 450-horsepower Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG sports saloon to promote a 'don't drink and drive' campaign from renowned Scotch whiskey brand Johnny Walker by burning their initials on the asphalt.

You can watch the ad for yourself in the video after the break.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL: Feast Your Eyes on 60 High-Res Photos and the First Official Videos


The last couple of days, the sixth-generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL roadster has been one of the hottest subjects on the web – and rightly so, as it introduces several new technologies that will eventually trickle down to the premium automaker's other models.

There's a lot to mention, but one of the highlights is the aluminum bodywork, which significantly reduces weight and has a positive effect on both agility and handling as well as fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Video: Fifth Gear Pits Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe against Audi RS5


The most powerful versions of premium coupes like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Audi A5 are something like the Swiss Army knives of the automotive world. They can do just about anything aside from going off-road.

These cars can be used every day, making a home to office or school commute as comfortably as their more humble siblings, while they can also seat four or five people and have a decent boot, quality interiors, generous equipment, good looks and a prestigious badge.

Chuck Norris Approved: Alert Woman Ducks Rolling Mercedes ML


A traffic camera located at an intersection in the small Russian town of Timashevsk in the Krasnodar region captured a terrifying accident involving a Mercedes-Benz ML350 SUV.

The driver of the German luxury crossover blew right through a red light at speed and was hit on the rear passenger side by an oncoming Daewoo Nexia, which sent the Mercedes rolling over towards a pedestrian on the sidewalk.

Amazingly, the alert woman saw the Mercedes-Benz SUV coming her way and she instinctively jumped to safety literally at the last moment. The ML350 came to a stop on an electric pole with the video showing the careless driver jumping out of the car, apparently unhurt.

Video: Man Hoses Down Interior of Brand-New Mercedes-Benz CLS350…


Using a high-pressure hose to clean the interior of let's say, a rugged off-road model like a Land Rover Defender or a battered down passenger car such as an old Lada Riva, wouldn't even raise an eyebrow.

But what if we told you about a man who did precisely that to a…brand new (second generation) 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS 350? But wait, you haven't heard the best part yet: the perpetrator is the actual owner of the luxury sports sedan! Hard to believe, but we have video proof right after the break.

Cadillac Challenges Mercedes-Benz by Pitting the Escalade Against the C-Class [Video]


We think most of you will agree with us when we say that, for the same reasons the Cadillac Escalade is extremely profitable, it also doesn't quite fit the brand's current image being sort of a throwback to the glory days of the classic American cruiserships.

But this didn't stop General Motors from raising the ante in yet another provocative commercial for Cadillac that follows the CTS-V spot featuring the Ferrari 458 Italia.

This time, the General took the Escalade and pointed its ammo towards Mercedes-Benz and its C-Class sedan. The video spot shows the big Caddy V8 beating the C300 on a straight line duel, and then…hauling back the Merc.
