2013 Mercedes-benz Gl-class Gl550 on 2040-cars
Moulton, Alabama, United States
Up for consideration is a 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL550.
It runs and operates exactly as Mercedes-Benz intended. There are no funny noises, no driving quirks and certainly
no drips or leaks. No warning lights. All maintenance is current. It is an absolute pleasure to drive. If you
didn't know, you'd think it was a brand new SUV from the way it drives and operates. Truly, it's that nice. It is
a true testament to Mercedes quality.
Everything, and I mean everything, works exactly as Mercedes' designers and engineers intended.
The seats are in gray leather. The front seats are heated, air conditioned and are massaging! They, of course,
have memory and lumbar support. The wood trim is honest-to-goodness genuine burl walnut. No cheap plastic here!
The third-row seats have Mercedes' EASY-ENTRY™ feature. The second- and third-row seats fold flat and the second
row has the optional pass-through feature. The four doors have the cool soft-close feature. No need to slam 'em!
Just give the doors a gentle touch and they pull themselves closed and latched securely.
There is Bluetooth interface for hands-free calling. Bluetooth connectivity for audio streaming. MP3 media
interface. Mercedes' COMMAND™ navigation. A color display central controller. Equipped with harmon/kardon
LOGIC7™ surround sound with 830 watts stereo output. The car also has the rear seat entertainment system with
headphones that is a $1,950 extra-cost option. Two 115-volt AC power outlets. The car has a changeable ambient
lighting package for the interior.
There is a 360-degree surround view camera system. (You'll never again skin your front bumper on a curb with this
feature!) Anti-theft alarm system. Automatically folding outside rearview mirrors. Unlock and lock doors with
the wave of your hand. Power liftgate. ISOFIX™ (for child safety seats) anchoring on all rear seats.
One of the nicest features the SUV has is the Driver Assist Package™, a $1,950 option. This includes DISTRONIC
PLUS™ (with PRE-SAFE™ brakes) active blind spot assist and active lane-keeping assist. (I have actually tested
the braking feature by taking my hands off the steering wheel and my foot off the brake pedal and have come up at
35 mph behind cars stopped at a traffic light and the car stayed in the lane and came to a full stop without me
ever touching the brake pedal!!! Scary? YES! But way cool!

Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.
Daimler names Bernd Pischetsrieder to supervisory board
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Some executives in the automotive industry stay with one company for their entire careers, while others bounce from one to the other, often leaving their indelible mark on each automaker at which they serve. Bob Lutz is certainly an example of the latter. So is Lee Iacocca, having presided over Ford and later charing the Chrysler board. Carlos Tavares was chief operating officer of Renault before being nominated as chief executive at PSA Peugeot Citroën. But as far as the Germans go, nobody's jumped from the leadership of one automaker to the next quite like Bernd Pischetsrieder - especially now that he's been named to the supervisory board of Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler.
An engineer by training, Pischetsrieder started his career at BMW in 1973, eventually rising to the office of CEO after twenty years. There he remained until 1999, only to be dismissed after orchestrating BMW's takeover of the Rover Group (of which only the Mini brand remains in the company's portfolio, the other brands having been sold off after his dismissal).
The next year he was named chairman of Volkswagen's Seat brand, and rose to the chairmanship of the entire Volkswagen Group two years later. Despite a largely successful four-year tenure (that gave birth, incidentally, to the Bugatti Veyron), disagreements with supervisory board chairman Ferdinand Piëch saw him leave the helm at VW AG, focusing his attention on the Scania truck division. He's since been touted as a potential chief executive for Opel and for Continental, but neither potential was apparently realized.
Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.
