Predicting the future is tricky business. It’s hard to predict the future of an industry, especially the automobile industry. 10 years ago many industry exec’s thought that mainstream vehicles achieving close to 100mpg would be commonplace. Jurgen Hubbert, once Chief of the passenger car division for Mercedes-Benz AG said in a 1996 interview with Automobile Magazine we will have “innovative new combustion engines. We will have fuel economy between 56 and 95mpg”. He thought this would happen by 2006. Well, it’s February 2006 and I’m still waiting.

Indian standard of leaving has rose so high that an average rich Indian is no longer satisfied with the normal cars and like to be pamper and spoil themselves with luxury and style enjoying a superior lifestyle. Perhaps these expectations are molding the new class of affluent Indians to possess top brand vehicles, regardless of their prices.

Formed in 1967, AMG was the brainchild of 2 former engineers from Mercedes who set out to perfect racing engines. Their early days were spent on new engine design and then testing of these designs. After a number of years ‘pimping’ standard Mercedes autos into bespoke, road cars on an ad hoc basis, in 1993 the engineers signed a deal with their former employers to provide the C36, the first mass produced AMG Mercedes Benz.

If you were to sit a regular production Mercedes and it's AMG Mercedes Benz equivalent side by side, it wouldn't only be the difference in the design you'd notice, the cost is quite different too.
One reason for not only their reliability but also the cost of the AMG Mercedes Benz is that every engine is hand-built, and not only ...

When I was about ten years old, I got very into cars. I don’t even know why, but all of a sudden they were always on my mind. I would pay particular attention to what my parents’ friends were driving, and would always try to ride in different automobiles to compare the differences and pick my favorites. I remember the first time that I was struck by the luxury of a Mercedes-Benz.

My aunt had a late-1980s 420 SEL, and she picked me up in it one day. I sat in the back seat and immediately noticed that I could stretch my legs all the way out and still not touch the back of the front seat. And the smell of the leather made me really happy. At that point, I knew ...

For 110 years already, the name Mercedes-Benz has presented the most innovative automobile company in the world. When Daimler-Motoren-Gasellschaft (DMG) produced the first Mercedes on December 22, 1900, it set off dynamic development which, in the late 20th century, led to the creation of a global company, the DaimlerChrysler AG. The first man who bought a Mercedes was businessman Emil Jellinek, who, as the distributor of the Daimler brand, convinced the DMG company leadership on April 2, 1900, that chief engineer Wilhelm Maybach should construct a fast, light and safe vehicle. Jellinek then made another suggestion, namely, that the new vehicle be named after his youngest daughter, Mercedes. Since that time, the three-pointed star symbolizes vehicles which cruise along roads, sail across water and fly.
