Are you a big fan of Mercedes-Benz models, rare classic models, and never-before-seen private collections of Mercedes-Benz cars?

The Mercedes-Benz SLC AMG sport coupe has been kept "under wraps" for quite a while now, and its actual existence and name weren't announced until recently. However, we now know that the SLC-Class will join the AMG lineup, which currently includes the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG coupe- one of the most luxurious grand touring cars in the world. The SLS AMG carries two passengers in luxurious comfort and has the ability to travel at very fast speeds. It has an MSRP starting price at $190,000, which matches its incredible capabilities

Did you know that (depending on where you live) most new Mercedes-Benz vehicles come equipped with 4MATIC all-wheel drive? While the luxury brand doesn't always highlight this feature like some other automakers and manufacturers (think Subaru's or Audi's campaigns that revolve around this drivetrain), many Mercedes-Benz vehicles, not only its SUVs and crossover SUVs, are 4MATIC AWD-equipped.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class was first introduced only two years ago, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been a huge success in this short amount of time. The 500,000th E-Class sedan has now rolled off production lines at the Mercedes-Benz manufacturing plant in Sindelfingen, Germany.

Luxury automaker Mercedes-Benz is gearing up for a full refresh of its van range, and though only a few of these models are sold in the United States, they're too good to pass up talking about. We knew good things were to come when Volker Mornhiweg, former head of the AMG division for Mercedes-Benz left his position to move to head of the company' van division in 2010. We just didn't expect him to take on so many projects this quickly.

Have you heard of Siri? It's Apple's virtual personal assistant, currently only available for the iPhone 4S. If you haven't, you will soon. Mercedes-Benz recently announced that it will use the technology in its new "Drive Kit Plus" electronic system, which works in tandem with the brand's Digital DriveStyle. With these technologies combined, drivers will be able to access their iPhone apps, change the music, send texts, and make calls using only the sound of their voices- no hands required. "Drive Kit Plus" will be available in several 2013 Mercedes-Benz models and will be the first in-car system to incorporate Apple's technology.

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is already an amazing vehicle, but it's about to get even better. Mercedes-Benz showed off the 2013 SL-Class model earlier this month at the North American International Auto Show, held in Detroit , MI, and it seems to have made one of its most drastic changes since its introduction in 1952.

If you thought luxury-class vehicles weren't going to embrace the current hybrid-vehicle craze, think again. The Mercedes-Benz E Class BlueTEC HYBRID vehicles are coming this year, and they're sure to change the way you, and everyone, think about luxury and hybrid technology. Finally, the two worlds are joined in perfect money-saving harmony.
