Of the many painful moments in The Hangover, watching the cadre of best men destroy a beautiful 1965 Mercedes-Benz 220SE Convertible over the course of the film was perhaps the worst.

Between Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis bouncing the vehicle off of traffic and the sides of a concrete tunnel and allowing a live tiger to chew on the upholstery, this classic piece of German engineering suffered greatly at the hands of the movie's script. But this is Hollywood, where nothing is as it seems. As it turns out…

4Matic has proven to be a popular feature on various Mercedes-Benz models, especially in U.S. regions that experience four distinct seasons. But while all-wheel-drive is almost a necessary option in the luxury sedan segment, Daimler's C-Class and E-Class coupes have soldiered on only with rear-drive.

According to Car and Driver, that will change for next year. The 4Matic system will reportedly only be offered with the company's 3.5-liter V6, which pumps out 302 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.

This news could mean changes for the C-Class sedan as well. Currently, 4Matic…

This past July, Mercedes-Benz raised the curtain on their fourth Black Series model - the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe.  That's nearly five months Mercedes-Benz of Shrewsbury has been wondering: Will they trick out the C63 AMG sedan with the same fixings?

While Mercedes-Benz has not yet officially confirmed the high-potency variant, recent spy shots document the sleek four-door cavorting around Nurburgring. And, reports suggest that the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series sedan touts the same 510-hp 6.2-liter V8 engine found in the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe. That represents a gain of 59-hp more than the 2012 standard…

With more than 2,000 litres of luggage space almost nothing can hold back the new M-Class. So hurry home, chop chop!

Mercedes-Benz has given the company's 2012 C63 AMG Black Series a life of its own. The newest commercial for the vehicle shows exactly what happens when dealers shut off the lights and go home for the night. The coupe sets about prowling the streets of some unnamed metropolis in a quest to quench its insatiable thirst for asphalt, frightening away vagrants and using its exhaust note to bark at the moon. Looks like fun. Buyers may want to think about installing a cage in the garage if they plan to…

The job is to make the classic Mercedes-Benz vehicles exactly what they were when they first rolled out of the factory

Restoring cars has long been a hobby for father and son, but for a small group of mechanics at the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center, it's an incredibly unique job.  The job is to make the classic Mercedes-Benz vehicles exactly what they were when they first rolled out of the factory, every detail an exact match - the trick is to do it without leaving a trace that they were there.  Regardless of whether you are interested in the story of…

Daimler today announced that they will further expand the Tuscaloosa, Alabama plant in 2015 to include an entirely new Mercedes-Benz model. The new vehicle to roll off the production line in Tuscaloosa will be the fifth product produced.

For the production of the new model, Daimler will additionally invest 350 million dollars, and will create around 400 jobs at the plant.

Leave the Mercedes-Benz badge only to luxury cars? That's what any ordinary automaker would do. The Tri-Pointed Star is, of course, taking a more creative approach. First, they attached their name to a series of fashion weeks. Now?

Now, Mercedes-Benz is adding their name to the high-profile, Louisiana Superdome. You might recognize the architectural phenomenon as refuge for Hurricane Katrina evacuees, home of previous Super Bowl championships and the site of the forthcoming 2013 Super Bowl.

Mercedes-Benz announced their 10-year naming rights over the Superdome with the New Orleans Saints, on October 3. The agreement is, without a doubt…
