Road Test: Sport/Utilities In Hell
Our premise for this test is simple: Today's mega-dollar, leather-swathed, sport/utility vehicles are as prevalent as BMWs in Beverly Hills, but are they any good when the road turns to rocks and scorpions outnumber Starbucks a million to none?

2001 Mercedes-Benz AMG S 55, CL 55 & CLK 55 - Road Test Review - Motor Trend
In the Swabian region of Germany, understatement is a way of life. When something is very good, they shrug their shoulders and murmur "nicht schlecht," not bad. There was a lot of that going around when we toured the AMG factory in Affalterbach, and drove three new AMG models at the Hockenheim racet more
Road Test: 2000 Mercedes-Benz CL500
Some lucky souls know how it is when one of the toughest decisions each morning is choosing which car to drive that day.

2004 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG
The missed right turn, which took me 70km out of my way, was a mistake that turned into an opportunity--to flog the CL65 AMG just as its creators envisioned it to be flogged. Why else would they have gone to such considerable trouble to tweak the already power more

First Drive: 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
The SLR is a breathtaking 600-horsepower super Gran Turismo that leapfrogs its steel-bodied GT rivals. It'll be here next spring--there's already a two-year (1000-car) waiting list--and we've driven it. more
Long-term Update: 2003 Mercedes-Benz C230K Sport
What's a C230 sedan doing with a 1.8-liter engine? We're about to find out. Despite its smaller capacity, the supercharged 1.8-liter four is just as powerful (okay, it makes 3 bhp less) than its 2.3-liter forbear, outputting 189 bhp and 200 lb-ft of torque. Wh more
