Mercedes Benz CLS


Mercedes Benz CLS
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG coupe debuted this year at the Frankfurt Motor Show, scheduled to go on sale as early as next year. So let's compare the Mercedes coupe and the convertible. The notable disparity is that the convertible version spied lacks the suave Gullwing doors featured on its coupe predecessor, replaced by standard doors.
If the rumors are true, the door marks the only difference between the SLS AMG coupe and the SLS AMG convertible. Both are said to feature the same 6.2-liter V8 engine capable of 563 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque.
As for the 0-60 test, the Mercedes SLS AMG coupe version hits it in an impressive 3.8 seconds, and that leaves us to assume that the topless version will lag somewhat behind, likely at an even 4 seconds.
Rival manufacturers were equally enthralled. the Jaguar XF and the Volkswagen Passat CC. In 2010, BMW will launch a thematically similar four-door, and Audi will chime in with the A7.
Mercedes, meanwhile, is readying the second-generation CLS. Subjectively at least, the second-edition CLS is even prettier than the model it replaces. The flanks are more three-dimensional, with rear power bulges, prominent character lines, and flared wheel arches. Like all future Benzes, the next CLS boasts horizontally staggered LED daytime running lights as well as LED brake lights.
Inside, the CLS again gets its own dashboard, seats, and door panels. Like the current car, the new model offers tasteful alternative choices in terms of wood, leather, and color scheme. The engine lineup of the next CLS will see a complete turnover:
CLS350, 3.5-liter direct-injection V-6, 292 hp; power output increases to 306 hp in 2012
CLS550, 5.5-liter V-8, 388 hp; superseded by 435-hp direct-injection twin-turbo V-8 in 2012
CLS55 AMG, 5.5-liter twin-turbo direct-injection V-8, 570 hp; available from mid-2011 onward
CLS320 CDI, 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V-6, 224 hp; replaced in 2011 by 313-hp CLS350 CDI

Sport Utility Vehicles-overview


Sport Utility Vehicles
Potential problems with SUVs, Fuel economy is always a concern when buying a new SUV. The average SUV is 33 per cent less fuel efficient that the average passenger car; with rising fuel prices, that can translate into an expensive drive.
SUVs also have an unfortunate tendency to roll over during accidents. SUVs are more likely to roll over because they are far heavier than normal care and ride higher - on average, 8 inches higher than passenger cars. This has likely led to higher levels of fatal accidents in SUV crashes than passenger car crashes.
SUVs also usually result in higher insurance bills, thanks to the increased safety risk, higher maintenance costs, and the overall popularity of SUVs.
Which SUV is best for you and your family?
How do you pick the best Hybrid SUV from different SUV models available for sale in market?

·         What type of driving you'll be doing most,
·         Capacity (passenger and cargo)
·         The price range
·         Safety
·         Handling and Maneuverability
·         Fuel economy
·         You have to be sure you are absolutely comfortable with the SUV
·         Take your time, and ask a lot of questions about its features.
