I am always amazed by how the new generation of Mercedes-Benz vehicles can look fresh, innovative and futuristic but still have charateristics of the older generations. The 2013 SL-Class will be all-new this spring but you can see the connection to the first generation from 60 years ago!

Sold – March 2012

Our first 2012 ML63 AMG arrived at the dealership today! It is Black with Black Leather and all of the bells and whistles. I took it for a test drive and I am a big fan! It is easy to drive but has an amazing kick when you ask for it. The exhaust note is fantastic! It is currently without an owner and looking for a good home!

A quick look at the 2012 SL63 AMG and a little F1 preview.

The 2012 ML350 has been a huge success! It is a pleasure to drive, gets excellent fuel economy and has great options! Several of my previous M-Class owners have ordered their new 2012 ML350s and have taken advantage of a few special order options that Mercedes-Benz makes available. The options aren’t listed in the Build Your Own section of MBUSA.com but can be added by your salesperson for a $250 special order charge plus the cost of the option. Maybe one of these options will make the it absolute perfect vehicle for you!

This is a really handy accessory for drivers who want to protect the carpeted cargo area from spills and scuffs while still folding the seats at will.
