Consumers, critics, enthusiasts and many others will be on hand for the show and ready to voice their opinions, so everything must be perfect. 

Mercedes-Benz plans on introducing a secret concept called CLC-Class in NYC - A compact vehicle set below the A-Class sedan trim.

With the world a general public leaning towards small fuel efficient cars auto makers would be foolish to look…

Mercedes-Benz promoted its new fuel cell vehicle in Europe, instead of placing it squarely in front of everyone in the world, the company decided to make the car invisible. Watch the video and see if you can notice it.

At the Detroit Auto Show Mercedes-Benz rolled out two new hybrid E-Class vehicles, a diesel and a gasoline version. Mercedes-Benz has dubbed the E300 diesel hybrid as the "world's most economical luxury-class model." Although the diesel will launch in Europe, the US will see the gasoline E400 hybrid first and Japan China and other countries following. There has not been a set price yet for the hybrid E-Class vehicles but Mercedes-Benz did say that?

If there is one thing that Mercedes-Benz has done really well it is the perfect combination of sleek appearance and performance. Appearance and performance have been two of the biggest influencers in shaping the Mercedes-Benz brand. It doesn't stop there however; there are some deeper influencers for the Mercedes-Benz brand. Few get to see it. And Mercedes-Benz of Shrewsbury, located at 760 Boston Turnpike Road in Shrewsbury, MA, would like to take a moment to share it with you..."it" being the brand's philanthropic and green spirit.

First, we'd like to introduce you to the Mercedes-Benz Think Green Team, a collective of eco-minded employees dedicated to raising awareness about environmental issues as well as other philanthropic efforts.  Events hosted are aimed at helping fellow employees work toward and enjoy greener days now and in the future.

A more concrete example of Mercedes-Benz serving as a shepherd for the planet is the fact that they are the first green luxury dealership in the world to be U.S. Green Building Council-certified. Through tireless research, engineering and re-engineering, Mercedes-Benz has also launched the S400 HYBRID sedan and ML450 HYBRID SUV in 2009. Plus, a zero-emission fuel cell in 2010.

There's also the Mercedes-Benz C300, which with the Flexible Fuel Option, can be powered by a mixture of ethanol (renewable) and petrol. And, let us not forget BlueTEC Clean Diesel - what is perhaps, the Tri-Pointed Star's biggest claim to fame in the environmental arena.

Last, but certainly not least is Mercedes-Benz giving. In addition to sponsoring programs such as the Giving Tree and hosting coat and blanket drives, Mercedes-Benz USA has organized the Mercedes-Benz ShadeFund Entrepreneurs. The goal of the fund is to develop and support sustainability in the U.S. And, over the course of two years, Mercedes-Benz USA will select up to 12 small business owners with whom they'll invest. The qualifying characteristics, as outlined by Mercedes-Benz are  "... innovative, entrepreneurial spirit...commitment to the environmental values and exceptional artisanship".¹
