Mercedes-Benz eSprinter – I LOVE Electric Work Vans!
/
/
comments
The Mercedes-Benz eSprinter is an all-electric version of the Mercedes workhorse commercial van. How does it compare to competitors from Ford, Ram, and Rivian? Let’s take a look! I’ve now driven the Ford E-Transit and the Benz eSprinter. I need to add the Ram Promaster EV and Rivian RCV to my list to see which…

2024 Mercedes GLB35 4MATIC Quick Review: More than the sum of its parts
/
/
comments
On paper, the 2024 Mercedes GLB35 4MATIC compact crossover has a lot stacked against it. The price and relative lack of power alone are enough to cause pause, yet in reality the little wannabe SUV masquerades as a high-sitting hot hatch with some AMG goodness baked in. This thing is a little ripper, a blast…

Cars not reviewed, but not forgotten: 2023 Edition
/
/
comments
As with last year, some of the press vehicles I drove this year went without a written review (though we did cover them on The Off the Road Again Podcast). Yet these cars, trucks, and SUVs are still worth mentioning, so this post covers them in short format. In chronological order from least to most…

2021 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 4Matic l Review
/
/
comments
It’s that odd time of the year where press loaners are changing over from one model year to the next. That tends to limit availability, plus our local auto press association does an annual rally this time of year making loaners even more scarce. So, I dug into the archives to review this Mercedes-Benz GLB,…

Review: 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLS450 – Time to Evolve or Exit
/
/
comments
Have you thought about the Mercedes-Benz CLS450 in a while? It’s okay if you haven’t. I’m curious if Mercedes itself is thinking about it. The vehicle as it sits today is totally fine. But when the rest of your lineup exists in or is moving towards a zone of stellar awesome, fine doesn’t cut it.…

2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 – XL Excess
/

comments
The Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 is a less useful GLS, but it is damn nice on the inside and super smooth out on the road. I logged a ton of miles in this one, and here’s what I found. Disclaimer: Mercedes tossed us the keys to this GLS600 and included a tank of fuel.

2021 Mercedes-Benz E450 All-Terrain – Close… yet not quite
/
/
comments
I have a love-hate relationship with the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E450 All-Terrain. What I love is the fact that it’s an E-Class wagon. That means it’s well built, looks great, drives perfectly, and is comfortable inside as well. What I hate is the off-road SUV cosplay happening with the name and body cladding. [Disclaimer: MB tossed…

2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB250 – The Sweet Spot
/
/
comments
It seems all new vehicles have to be crossovers or SUVs. This trend has made sedans, wagons, and pretty much every other interesting car disappear from the market, for this reason, I have a general disdain for them. There are a few exceptions that prove the rule, but they have to do something special. Toyota…

2020 Mercedes Benz AMG GT63S – German Hellcat
/
/
comments
I was contemplating what analogy would work best in describing the AMG GT63S, several came to mind. If the band Pantera was also MBA Ivy League School graduates. Sexy Beast (very underrated movie) and as the title suggests. A German Hellcat. Sexy Beast is apt because, well, the GT63S is a great looking car, and 0-60 in…

comments
I’ve wanted to drive the Mercedes-AMG E63S wagon for… a long time now. Did it live up to the hype I created in my head? Oh yes. This is one damn fine machine. It’s rare to find a wagon for sale in the US. Now add in the fact that this one is powered by…
