2025 Mercedes G-Wagen AMG G 63 Review: The Classic SUV Finally Hits Its Peak
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Product Reviews, Transportation,
You don’t buy a G-Wagen to blend in. It’s a billboard for every era it’s survived: the 70s military truck, the 90s Wall Street icon, the 2020s social media flex. Now, for 2025, it finally drives like it looks - commanding, calm, a little ridiculous, and extremely, intentionally cool. There’s a V8 with more tech inside than some laptops. There’s chassis wizardry that erases its worst habits. The price is high, the attitude is higher. If you want a quiet luxury SUV, shop elsewhere. If you want a machine that turns every Starbucks run into a photo op, start counting options.
Mercedes Remixed Its Icon (But Didn’t Dare Change the Shape)
Under the hood, the old-school hand-built V8 is now paired with a 48-volt starter-generator - a mild-hybrid system, but don’t call it eco. It’s here for instant response, not planet-saving. AMG Active Ride Control means the anti-roll bars are out, and a hydraulic network is in. The G-Wagen doesn’t tip and sway anymore. It leans into corners with a kind of dignity it never had. MBUX gets smarter, the Transparent Hood camera now makes off-roading (or curb-hopping) easier, and there are subtle tweaks to the A-pillars and roof for less wind noise. All the DNA, with a few evolutionary tricks.

Mercedes Finally Nailed the Plug-In SUV: 2025 GLC 350e Tested
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Product Reviews, Transportation,
The GLC 350e is the rare plug‑in hybrid that feels like a real electric car for most of your week. Mercedes quotes 54 miles of EV range and the number finally lines up with how people actually drive a compact luxury SUV. School runs. Grocery loops. A commute that looks the same Monday through Thursday. Add the comfort and polish this generation of GLC already nailed, then give it DC fast charging for the days you push too far on battery. It ends up calm, capable, and surprisingly efficient. If you have a place to plug in, this is the GLC you want.
The test car at a glance
My test vehicle is the spec you actually see in showrooms when someone checks every box that makes the design pop: MANUFAKTUR Patagonia Red Metallic paint, AMG Line with the sportier bumpers, Night Package for the dark trim, and 20‑inch AMG multispoke wheels finished in black. Inside, Exclusive Trim with Metal Weave accents, ventilated front seats, the panorama roof, and the Advanced USB package. It starts at $59,900 and lands at $73,450 as tested including destination.

Mercedes Got the Formula Right with the 2024 GLC 43
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Product Reviews, Transportation,
The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe is an interesting proposition. It sits neatly in a category that often tries (and sometimes struggles) to blend performance and practicality, wrapped in that distinctive coupe silhouette that's suddenly everywhere. On paper, Mercedes promises both sporty handling and everyday usability - but how does this translate in real life?
First, let's talk numbers. Under the hood, you'll find AMG’s tuned 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine. With 416 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, aided by a 48-volt mild-hybrid system and an electric exhaust-gas turbocharger, acceleration is brisk—Mercedes claims 0-60 mph in roughly 4.7 seconds. It's paired with a 9-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT automatic transmission that delivers fast, crisp gear changes, and all-wheel drive comes standard via Mercedes' 4MATIC system. It's quick enough to entertain, though not exactly thrilling if you've spent time in higher-powered AMGs.

Scott Disick is suing Mercedes-Benz.
The Keeping up with the Kardashians star has filed a lawsuit against the auto company, alleging it sold him a "virtually useless" 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG because the vehicle is constantly breaking down.
In legal documents, obtained by gossip website TMZ.com, the 30-year-old failed restaurateur said that the car, which costs $190,000 new, is unreliable and has spent more time in a repair shop in Los Angeles than on the road. Scott is accusing Mercedes-Benz of failing to make the car roadworthy after numerous attempts and is seeking a full refund plus expenses.
News of the lawsuit comes after a difficult few months for Scott, whose father, Jeffrey Disick, died in early January, less than three months after his mother, Bonnie, passed away from cirrhosis of the liver. "[Scott is] very, very sad. The whole family is trying to comfort him. Everyone's upset. To lose both parents so close together, it doesn't seem fair," a source close to the star said.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Transportation,
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Final Edition will be the swan song for the iconic line. If you want one, make sure you've got the money in the bank (we're guessing it'll run near $250,000) and get in line--there'll just be 350 units produced for the last of the SLS AMG vehicles, each rocking a 6.3-liter V8 engine with 591-horsepower. You can feast your eyes on one, with its red and black two-tone paint job, at the Los Angeles Auto Show and Tokyo Motor Show.

Posted by Andrey Malskiy Categories: Science, Transportation, Videos,
A recent, we’re sure very technical, study conducted by an online dated service from the UK has found that BMW owners like most likely to cheat on their significant other.
NineMSN.com says there is an “intrinsic link between success and cheating.” BMW topped the list of followed by Audi and Mercedes-Benz a close third. Though we’re not too sure BMW would accept this award, but it’s one more bragging right they can add to the list!
This isn’t a novel idea either, a few years back Mercedes-Benz capitalized on the concept while promoting its AWD system. Check out the video after the jump!

Mercedes-Benz techs caught joyriding customer’s AMG C63
Posted by Andrey Malskiy Categories: Transportation, Videos,
Ever wonder what goes on behind closed doors at a dealership after dropping your car off for service? In normal cases, your car is well-maintained and treated with respect. However, once in a blue-moon, your car may fall into the wrong hands. Hands that decide to post a joyride, starring your car, on YouTube.
Here’s footage, recorded by two techs at a Canadian dealership, that shows them taking a Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 Couple Black Series out for a “test run." If you’re not familiar with the C63, it’s a beast designed for the Autobahn. Beneath it’s hood lies a precision engineered, 510-horsepower motor. This, in the wrong hands, is a disaster waiting to happen.
Luckily, no damage was done to the car or to others. The video does have the Mercedes-Benz community buzzing for the sheer stupidity of the stunt, and for red lining the motor so long. Check out the video above for yourself.
Top 10 vehicles with highest male ownership percentage
Posted by Andrey Malskiy Categories: Transportation,
Here’s a look at the top 10 vehicles with a high male ownership. We’re not all too surprised with the list of cars, minus a couple of choices.
The Ferrari 458 Italia finds itself on the top of the list with 95.3% of its owners bring men.
After you’re done thinking about who might own the other 4.7% of the 458, the list continues with the BMW 1 Series M taking second followed by Audi R8, Mercedes SLS AMG, and the Ferrari California. We’re not surprised to see all these high-performance, lead-footed fun cars hitting the list. I know that most these cars are on my list of must drive cars before I die.
Number six goes to the Porsche 911, a classic, if you ask us, followed by the Nissan GT-R with 87.9% male ownership. Number eight is were the list take a turn for the worst, the all-ever, cookie-cutter-remixed-Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra pickup trucks; following closely behind it the Ford F-Series. Number ten goes to the ever-classic, mid-life crisis Chevy Corvette.
What leaves us bogged are the number eight and nine slots, is there really nothing better out there other than pick-up trucks?

Mercedes-Benz improves the seat belt for the second time
Posted by Andrey Malskiy Categories: Corporate News, Transportation,
Mercedes-Benz has improved the seat belt again. If you haven’t been up to speed, the first improvement they made was placing motors on the B- and C-pillars of the car so that the seat belt can adjust tension. Now they’ve gone a step further to make buckling up easier. Future models will feature a buckle that lights up and out by about 3-inches extends when a passenger enters the vehicle. Once the belt is inserted, the buckle retracts back into position and the light fades.
Mercedes aims to put this into production as early as 2013.
