Review: 2018 Mercedes-Benz E400 Coupe 4MATIC
By Kevin Harrison
It could be the diamond white metallic paint. It could be the double spoke 19 inch rims. It could be the array of LED lighting, the pillarless side profile or maybe it’s just the massive three-pointed star on the grille. Whatever it is, the E400 coupe owns every...

Review: 2017 Mercedes-AMG C43 Cabriolet
By Kevin Harrison
If you remember past episodes of Top Gear when the hosts consisted of May, Clarkson and Hammond, you'll likely recall that the former was never a fan of AMG spec'd Mercedes-Benz products. He called them "stupidly overpriced" along with being brash, uncomfortable, too shouty and suggested the only...

By Kevin Harrison
Despite the fact that there is apparently a Flat Earth Society with close to 84,000 likes on Facebook, the majority of us accept that the Earth is round just like every other planet in our immediate solar system. Why would the Earth be any different, especially with clear...

By Kevin Harrison

Test Drive: 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo Van
By Kevin Harrison
It’s a bit strange that, in the six years I’ve been reviewing new vehicles, I have never once reviewed a commercial vehicle such as a cargo van.

By Kevin Harrison
Have you finally gotten the hang of German vehicle nomenclature? Well, forget everything you memorized regarding Mercedes-Benz in particular because they've gone ahead and changed their model names on you - at least as far as their SUV's are concerned.

Test Drive: 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4Matic
By Kevin Harrison
It all started with an argument: is the GLA an SUV or is it a hatchback with raised ground clearance?
Mercedes-Benz would have you believe it's an SUV. They claim it as the company's first venture into the luxury compact SUV segment; a place where its main rivals, Audi...

Mercedes-Benz Introduces GLE Class Coupe
No, that isn't a BMW X6 you're seeing above, it's actually a Mercedes-Benz and it's an all new model recently added to their portfolio.
BMW is responsible for creating the odd SUV/CUV/Sedan/Coupe-thing segment and the GLE Coupe takes direct aim at its fellow German rival.
