Posted on 24.02.2014 | No CommentsWe applaud automakers for finding new and interesting ways to market their wares, but Mercedes-Benz seems to have exuberantly crossed the line between advertising innovation and advertising weirdness. We’re talking, of course, about Benz’s bizarre interactive website for the 2015 GLA-class crossover, which takes users through a click/scroll/drag journey to help an amnesic “Ryan” figure [...] -
Small and/or Mighty: Compact Mercedes-Benz GLA250 / GLA45 AMG Driven
Posted on 20.02.2014 | No CommentsPeel back the skin of the Mercedes-Benz GLA-class, and you’ll reveal bones virtually identical to those of the CLA sedan. The two models are based on Mercedes’ FWD/AWD compact-car platform, which also serves as the basis for the maker’s A- and B-class vehicles. The GLA’s powertrains are cloned from those in the CLA, as well, [...] -

Posted on 24.12.2013 | No CommentsThe 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA-class has a lot riding on its relatively diminutive shoulders.

Mercedes to Skip Diesel Offerings in American-Market CLA; Diesel GLA Unlikely
Posted on 03.10.2013 | No CommentsThe rapid proliferation of diesel engines in German automakers’ American lineups won’t extend to the new CLA, we’ve been told by a source within Mercedes-Benz.
