As much as it can be a time-suck like no other, the internet has proven to be a pretty wonderful place for us here at Mercedes-Benz of Chicago. We can't even remember what buying a new or pre-owned car was like before dealerships started listing their inventory online, and ever since then, it's been all uphill. But aside from the convenience that comes with researching a vehicle from the comfort of your own home, the internet has opened doors that were previously unreachable.

For everything we love about our American dealership here at Mercedes-Benz of Chicago, we can't help but be a tad bit jealous of China these days. Not to sound ungrateful for the constant joys that our new and pre-owned cars provide us, but with everything going on at the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show these days, we're awfully tempted to book ourselves a flight.

It probably goes without saying that there isn't a much about our new and pre-owned cars here at Mercedes-Benz of Chicago that leave us wanting more.

But with gas prices on the rise and fuel-efficiency in greater demand, we wouldn't be opposed to some electricity joining the ranks.

Call us biased, but we here at Mercedes-Benz of Chicago could talk your ear off about all the things we love about the new and pre-owned cars at our dealership. After all, there's many a good reason for why these beauties keep turning heads, and if there's one vehicle that's craned more necks than any other, it's the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG SUV. But just in case that isn't enough for you, our favorite automaker has you covered.

It seems like just yesterday that the 2013 Mercedes-Benz S-Class joined the ranks of our new and pre-owned cars here at Mercedes-Benz of Chicago, and things just haven't been the same since. It gave us hope for the new year and it set a glorious new standard for a nameplate that's failed to disappoint from one year to the next. Well now that we've recently gotten a first look at next year's model, the streak continues on.

Here at Mercedes-Benz of Chicago, we know that luxury car drivers and fans love of our Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Besides being a religious leader for millions worldwide the Pope definitely has style. While Mercedes-Benz has been contracted for the development of Popemobiles for 80 years, Pope Benedict XVI isn't going to be driven around the Vatican in any old Popemobile. He'll get an M-Class, which we think has come a long way since the Nurburg 460 Pullman Saloon, Pope Pius XI received in 1930.
