Mercedes-Benz eSprinter – I LOVE Electric Work Vans!
|
The Mercedes-Benz eSprinter is an all-electric version of the Mercedes workhorse commercial van. How does it compare to competitors from Ford, Ram, and Rivian? Let’s take a look! I’ve now driven the Ford E-Transit and the Benz eSprinter. I need to add the Ram Promaster EV and Rivian RCV to my list to see which…

2024 Mercedes GLB35 4MATIC Quick Review: More than the sum of its parts
|
On paper, the 2024 Mercedes GLB35 4MATIC compact crossover has a lot stacked against it. The price and relative lack of power alone are enough to cause pause, yet in reality the little wannabe SUV masquerades as a high-sitting hot hatch with some AMG goodness baked in. This thing is a little ripper, a blast…

2021 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 4Matic l Review
|
It’s that odd time of the year where press loaners are changing over from one model year to the next. That tends to limit availability, plus our local auto press association does an annual rally this time of year making loaners even more scarce. So, I dug into the archives to review this Mercedes-Benz GLB,…

The Best or Nothing: 1998 Mercedes C280 nears the Finnish line
|
Sometimes it’s a huge relief when a car you bought is exactly as bad as you hoped it would be. Let me explain that a bit further. For some time, we’ve gotten together with a bunch of friends for a weekend in January or February, booked an ice track and some accommodation and proceeded to…

The skill of others that exists out there in the world is truly wonderful. Case in point; I just discovered a YouTube channel called The Scalemodeling Channel. Here, you’ll find endless videos of amazingly detailed scale builds. A perfect example of this is seen in the video below. The builder starts with parts from a…

|
Have you thought about the Mercedes-Benz CLS450 in a while? It’s okay if you haven’t. I’m curious if Mercedes itself is thinking about it. The vehicle as it sits today is totally fine. But when the rest of your lineup exists in or is moving towards a zone of stellar awesome, fine doesn’t cut it.…

2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 – XL Excess
|
The Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 is a less useful GLS, but it is damn nice on the inside and super smooth out on the road. I logged a ton of miles in this one, and here’s what I found. Disclaimer: Mercedes tossed us the keys to this GLS600 and included a tank of fuel.

2021 Mercedes-Benz E450 All-Terrain – Close… yet not quite
|
I have a love-hate relationship with the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E450 All-Terrain. What I love is the fact that it’s an E-Class wagon. That means it’s well built, looks great, drives perfectly, and is comfortable inside as well. What I hate is the off-road SUV cosplay happening with the name and body cladding. [Disclaimer: MB tossed…
