1986 1/2-1988 Volkswagen Scirocco 16V - Collectible Classic - Automobile Magazine
The power to stick around.

Over the past thirteen years, the silver spoilered brat pictured here has confidently watched its owner acquire - and then rid himself of - a hot red Nissan, two Mazdas, a VR6-powered Volkswagen, three Mercedes-Benzes, five BMWs, and a pair of Porsches. From its heated garage spot, it has snickered at Ferraris outside braving the rain and Aston Martins fighting the cold. And it laughs so hard it pees - Mobil 1, on the floor - every time some expensive, exotic new car sits out overnight, suffering the indignity of being molested by the neighborhood cat.

The Ultimate Expression of AMG's 2015 Performance Strategy

Yes, the all-electric Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell Prototype has slightly less horsepower than its gas-powered sibling. But it still has a very impressive 526 horsepower and 649-pound-feet of torque -- the latter available from the moment you mash the pedal to the floor. When you do stomp the E-Cell's accelerator, it will blast 60 mph in four seconds, according to the Benz AMG folks.

First Drive: 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Jeep SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
Jeep's other icon.

With three owners in the past three years, it's been a tumultuous time for Chrysler. The lineup has aged and it's been uncomfortably quiet in terms of new product announcements. The 2011 Grand Cherokee breaks the silence and leads a handful of fresh vehicles into showrooms. While Italian automaker Fiat now controls Chrysler, development of this Grand Cherokee began in 2006, when Chrysler was still tied up with Daimler-Benz (the parent company of Mercedes-Benz). For that reason, the newest Jeep has a lot in common with the Mercedes-Benz ML.

EXCLUSIVE: Q&A with Mercedes’ global sales and marketing chief

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
Choosing to resurrect founding father Gottlieb Daimler's maxim 'The best or nothing' heralds the start of a marketing offensive to reassert its brand in the face of pressure from Audi and BMW. Guy Bird caught up with Dr Joachim Schmidt, executive VP of sales and marketing, to ask the 61-year old what he thinks the Mercedes brand should now stand for, the new product that will attract younger customers to help expand from about one million sales in 2009 to 1.5m by 2015 and whether Mercedes could, or even should, ever be 'sexy'.
