Mr. Mercedes Recap: 'No Problem'
Mr. Mercedes‘ titular fiend was effectively taunted this week, while a burning question — Why doesn’t Bill simply get his police pals involved? — got answered. Having spiffed himself up more than a little for his latest tête-à-tête with Janey, Bill was presented with a wealth of letters written by Mr. Mercedes to Olivia, the […]
Rolls-Royce Is Most Mentioned Brand in Pop Songs; Bentley, Mercedes, and Cadillac All Tie with Xanax
– The business writers at Bloomberg must either be bored or listening to hip-hop while they monitor their stock terminals, else we’d never have known that rappers and pop music artists mention Rolls-Royce more often than any other car brand. (That’s rapper Fat Joe with a Wraith, above.) – That’s the result, Bloomberg reported, of […]
Mercedes uses art deco inspiration for electric car concept
Luxury vehicles from the 1930s were nearly aircraft carrier-long. It was the art deco era dominated by seemingly never ending clean lines. So it’s no surprise that the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet is over six meters long (about 20 feet) and has a single line that runs the length of the vehicle. Hell, the back […]
Mr. Mercedes Recap: Let's Play.
This week on AT&T Audience Network’s Mr. Mercedes, the titular taunter reached out to his prey in an old school way, setting the stage for what portends to be a more continuous game of cat-and-mouse.

Mercedes teases a new Maybach concept convertible
Once again, Mercedes is taking a Vision concept to the Pebble Beach Concours this year. To start generating excitement, the company has released a teaser trailer for the car, and effectively no other information. But we think we’ve pieced together what the car is. Let’s look at the video first. It shows a voluptuous blue […]
Bye-Bye Baby B: Mercedes Spikes Its Electric Subcompact, Eyes More Mainstream EVs
– Mercedes-Benz has confirmed that the B-class Electric Drive—badged B250e—won’t be offered after the 2017 model year. The B250e is Mercedes-Benz’s only all-electric vehicle, yet the news of its demise isn’t entirely surprising. It was conceived from the start with an unusual pedigree and a limited shelf life while Mercedes-Benz used it to test some […]
New Mercedes GLA-Class spotted looking like a lifted A-Class
Development of Mercedes-Benz’s new subcompact cars is well under way, as evidenced by its Concept A Sedan and “spy” photos from Daimler Chairman Dieter Zetsche of the new A-Class. With that in mind, it’s perhaps not that surprising that, thanks to these spy shots, we’re now getting a peak at the second-generation GLA-Class. What’s a […]
