Mercedes-Benz calls their latest design "Aesthetics S," a fluidic sculpture that the automaker describes as "an artistic glimpse of the luxury saloon of the foreseeable future."¹ In more specific terms, the sculpture is a vision of what we can expect from Mercedes-Benz when the next S-Class launches next year.

The vision of the sculpture are vaguely representative of the sedan, but the folks at Mercedes-Benz explain, "The characteristic lines of the S-Class have always...

At the Detroit Auto Show in 2007, Mercedes-Benz unveiled what they called their Ocean Drive Concept, a luxuriously styled convertible that - at the time - we could only hope would make it into production. And it may be five years down the road, but we have it on good authority that the next-generation Mercedes-Benz S Class will feature a cabriolet that's heavily based on the Ocean Drive Concept.

Unlike the concept, the drop-top S-Class will...

Pretty soon, a well-traveled Mercedes-Benz G-Class Wagen named Otto will come to rest at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Germany. We say well-traveled, but that's quite the understatement. We're willing to bet that this particular car has seen more of the world than any of us can ever hope to see. And that's all because one man and his wife set out on an 18-month road trip that ended up lasting 23 years...

The future of Mercedes-Benz USA is looking brighter than ever before, as they recently named the company's new CEO, Steve Cannon. Not only has he worked at Mercedes-Benz for more than 20 years, before his time in the automotive industry, he was an Army man. Needless to say, this is a man who runs a tight ship.

Cannon started at Mercedes-Benz of North America as the executive assistant to the CEO in 1991, from...

Of course you know that the Mercedes-Benz of Chicago showroom is full of new Mercedes-Benz models like E-Class, CLS-Class, and M-Class. But, how much do you really know about the German automaker?

For example, did you know that...

When you see or hear about a Mercedes-Benz model like the E-Class, you probably immediately think of executive styling and unmatched luxury. But that's not the only thing Mercedes-Benz is good at engineering into every single one of their models. Safety is also a top concern of the German automaker, and many of their models have earned Top Safety Pick designations from the IIHS this year.

The C-Class, GLK-Class, and M-Class were recently joined...

Well, summer is here in Chicago, and with it, the latest Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class SUV. It's been significantly upgraded for 2013, with an impressive list of tweaks to the exterior, interior, and available powertrains.

What you'll notice on the outside: new geometric wheel arches with a more demanding presence, a redesigned front fascia, oversize taillights, and chrome accents throughout.

What you'll notice on the inside: rich wooden inlays, jet-engine inspired air vents, and...

If you drive a Mercedes-Benz model, then you know just how comfortable it is, on top of being stylish. That's right, it's really not so bad sitting in rush hour traffic if you're sitting in the driver's seat of a S-Class sedan. Now imagine enjoying that kind of comfort and style right in your living room.

The idea isn't so far from reality - Mercedes-Benz recently unveiled their first furniture collection...

As far as Mercedes-Benz is concerned, crafting top-of-the-line vehicles is only the beginning of their success story. Not only do they care about their customers, but their employees, dealerships, and local community members, as well. They've been active in the communities they effect for nearly as long as they've been building cars - that's over 100 years of going good for the people who support them. As they explain, "In the end, what...

When you stop into Mercedes-Benz of Chicago for a test drive, you'll find a whole lineup of world-renowned, uniquely designed, and above all, copyright protected new Mercedes-Benz models.

Copyright protected? Yes, that's exactly what we said. For example, the original creators of the SL-Class SL300 with gullwing doors handed all rights over to Daimler AG just about 60 years ago, and they own them to this day. This is the case with all...
