If none of these numbers above scares you, please, let's continue.
Vehicle took the place of dearly departed CL-class, but it is essentially very same concept of the car. Big, powerful, luxurious coupe that would impress anyone with smallest dose of admiration for automobiles. Looks & feels great. If they weren't so expensive, they should be prescribed by doctors as confidence busters. 0-60 mph is not important, because it restores confidence at 5 mph...smile on the face is waaay before 60mph. Please note that I'm still talking about S-550. S-63 AMG does the same thing just by holding the key, and driving it makes you feel like new James Bond. License to thrill. And S-65 AMG V12 bi-turbo ? I will tell you later.
As far as technology available in the vehicle, there is no rival at this moment (BAS Plus w/ cross traffic assist, Distronic Plus w/ Steering Assist , Night View Assist Plus, just to mention some. Same can be said for the styling of the vehicle. If I was to judge how people react when they spot the car in the showroom, I would say that is the best car that Mercedes-Benz made. It looks good from every angle. Magic Sky Control

get's oohs and ahhs every time. Optional Svarovski Crystal Headlamps are there to put icing on the cake. Yes, 47 of them. Now, how can your spouse say "No".
Once you start driving the car, one thought keeps occupying your mind "this is it, this is how luxury car supposed to drive like, this is the feeling that I was looking for" effortless acceleration, smooth steering feel, and strong but predictable breaking. Sound is dispearsed through Burmester sound system, and if you truly looking for best-of-the-best, you can have it with Burmester 3D sound with 1,540 watt power amplifier. Burmester is top-of-the-line sound system and they make it only for three car manufacturers; Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Bugatti.
To further elevate the drive, you can turn on massage seat for driver & passenger....you know....just for fun.
Mercedes-Benz S-class coupe has many more options & features, but I only want to give you something to peak your interest for you to visit me at Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale.
So, how does S-65 AMG drive ? I don't know. I haven't drove one, but I think slogan "The best or nothing" means Mercedes-AMG S-65 coupe
Downsides to S-65 AMG ? Yes, of course. Price !!! and you can't sneek arround un-noticed. S-65 AMG is rare animal.

2016 GLE-450 AMG Coupe

You could consider this as a more athletic brother sister or even a cousin of standard GLE (previously known as ML)
What is new ? What is different than GLE ?
Before any details I would like to clear this; GLE 450 AMG coupe is not your AMG that you got used to. This vehicle has the look of the AMG style as well as tweaked engine to more horse power, 5 dynamic select transmission modes, performance tuned airmatic suspension and adaptive damping system, larger break discs, AMG specific 4matic with sport tuned steering wheel & exhaust.
Well, the whole concept of GLE coupe is new for Mercedes-Benz, but besides it's similarities with GLE, vehicle has a output of 362 HP and 384 lb-ft of torque from twin-turbo V6. GLE-450 AMG coupe is 3.03 inches wider and 3.78 inches longer, and also 1.1 inches lower. Interior of the vehicle is unchanged from standard GLE. Exterior differences are easy to notice. Front end is more aggressive with bigger opening air intakes on lower bumper, MB star with only one blade. Side of the car is most recognizable one because of the coupe looking silhouette, but sporty stance SUV is accented with plastic molding around wheel arches. Rear part is unmistakable with low roof and wide stance. Two double tail pipes with wide rear tail lamps give it additional sportiness.
In short; Sporty looking SUV with
GLE 63 AMG is just around the corner with its powerful 577 HP and 561 lb-ft of torque.

2015 C-class

Latest and the greatest from Mercedes-Benz; 2015 C-300 4matic. Promises were big, and so is delivery. Bigger, smarter, smoother, more powerful, less apetite for gasoline, refinement and upscale options are just some of the attributes associated with all-new C-class.
Yes, it is bigger than it's predecesor for almost 4 inches (that's big in this car segment)
2014 C-250 180.8 inches
2015 C-300 184.5 inches
and it is also taller (1/2 inch), but lighter (about 200 lb), trunk went from 12.4 cu. ft to 17 cu. ft. Quite an achievement. To add icing on a cake, car has better fuel economy (3 mpg in the city) with stronger engine;
2014 C-250 201 hp-229 lb-ft torque
2015 C-300 241 hp-273 lb-ft torque
So, less weight, more muscle.....it looks like the C-class spend some time at the gym :-)
Yes, the vehicle is leaner as well. 2015 C-300 4matic now offers few setting of the suspension; Comfort, Sport, Sport plus, Individual.....and if this is not enough, fancy and famous Airmatic is available. This is the first time that C-class is offered with such upscale option. This fact alone should be a proof that new C is the son of S-class. Heritage of S-class doesn't stop there. Air balance package, new and improved Drivers Assistance Package; Pre-Safe break with pedestian recognition , Active Lane Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist, Distronic plus with steering assist, and that would be it. This is all the fun with packaged options. Other upscale options are; 8.4" tablet style screen, touchpad, In-car WiFi hotspot, Burmester premium sound system, Multi-color ambient lightning, ventilated seats, cabin fragrance system, heads up display, electronic trunk closer, cross wind assist, ....(I think I got everything)
All of these upgrades were not available on C-class on previous models. With this said, it is safe to ask a question; Is C-class competitor to E-class ? And my answer is; Yes, to the extent. Never before C-class offered so much as it does for 2015 model year. I don't mean just in terms of technology, but in terms of style, refinement, and materials used for the vehicle. Feeling of quality dominates when you enter the C-class. All butons are soft and quiet, sharpness of 8.4" infotainment screen is sharp as your ultra-high definition TV, and stitching on leather really gives you the feeling of "the best or nothing.
First part of the model year, C-class comes in 4matic version only (4matic = all-wheel-drive), both C-300 and C-400 biturbo 6 cylinder with 329 hp - 354 lb-ft torque. Rear wheel drives will come in early part of 2015
C-400 4matic has higher starting price of $48,590 + $925 destination, vs. $40,400 + $925 destination on C-300 4matic. Higher price reflect standard Premium package ($2,700) and sport package ($2,175)
By no means you should take 2015 C-class as a new kid on a block, becuase it is not, but rather as a person that you used to know and after a few years you met them again. This time you are pleasently surprised how much better they look, how much smarter they are, stronger, faster......

In door showroom-inventory at 75F

In my previous posts I indicated that we moved from 3rd ave. & Indian School Rd (Phoenix Motor Company) to our new location 2 blocks north of Camelback on Scottsdale Rd. (same company doing business as; Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale)
One of my favorite things about this new location is that almost all of our inventory, about 80%, is INSIDE where temperature is around 75F. Air conditioned vehicle inventory adds new level of luxury to car shoppers.

For those unfamiliar with Phoenix-Scottsdale Az, average summer temprature is 104F or 41 Celsius.
