We stopped at a Robinson’s barbecue stand next to Mercedes-Benz for some sandwiches. This is basically a McRib without a pickle or onion.

The new Mercedes-Benz CL coupe looks too much like a mid-90s Acura CL:

Other than the nicely curved roofline, the CL’s shape is somewhat bland and Japanese-looking.

The latest SL is a head turner, especially in matte gray paint.
I apologize again for my blurry photos.

The new taillights are a bit sleeker than the 2003-2008 R230. The whole shape looks a bit lower and longer.

The fender vents have changed and look more purposeful than the rounded-off squares that adorned the sides of the last generation SL:

The nose adopts Mercedes-Benz’s new aggressive design language but the headlights feel a bit out of place. The inside corners of the lights should have been extended forward to follow the angle of the grille.

The chrome vents are a bit loud, but the interior looks to be of high quality materials.

Inside the S-class, the world’s most desired and most popular full size luxury car.

It was one of the first cars to adopt a color LCD gauge cluster.

Here’s the new SLK featuring MB’s new SLS-inspired design language. The inside edge of the headlights are extended forward to meet the grille (unlike the SL), and it looks fantastic.

The SLK’s interior is much improved with high-quality materials throughout. It no longer feels like an SL for poor people.

More of the CL, this one with an AMG powertrain and matte white paint.

The stunning new SLS convertible. It does away with gullwing doors in favor of a sleeker shape.

This car was built on the platform that was supposed to be shared with the next-generation Viper.

Monster brakes, 15.83” carbon ceramic discs with 6-piston aluminum calipers. The brake upgrade is $14,000.

563hp, 479lb-ft
0-60 in 3.7 seconds

The SLS roadster starts at $196,000.

The black door stitching is L-shaped. Nice detail.

Here’s a passenger van based on the Sprinter. It’s a van.

Every year, the G-class makes an appearance. Every year, it draws in a crowd. This truck has been in production for more than three decades.

The interior, with its short dashboard and strange ergonomics (note the cupholder mounted near the passenger’s left leg), is beginning to show its age.

Beautiful white stitching, soft materials. I’d be proud to own one.

The E-class wagon is impressive, with large, rectangular seats shaped in a way that reminds me of the old W124.

The 516 horsepower AMG E63 wagon begins at around $90,000. That’s a pretty exhilarating way to carry your dog around.

The GL, the SUV my mom wanted but decided against, carries on with its aging interior and technology.

The E-class sedan, which starts at $57k, hasn’t been this strikingly pretty since the W124:

The Logic 7 sound system creates a beautiful soundstage. Controls are reasonably simple thanks to a joystick mounted in front of the arm rest. Materials feel expensive and well-made.

The E-class convertible is actually based on the C-class, replacing the CLK.

Are those speakers? I think they are.
