New E-Class improves on success (Feb 02)
It took four years and more than 2bn euros, but the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class is finally out in the open and ready to continue the Merc's work of being the most successful luxury saloon in the world, writes Brian Byrne. The outgoing car averaged more than 200,000 units sold a year. Full Story.

Mercedes Benz's safe load lugger (May 03)
The estate E-Class is a particularly important variant in the US, where there’s a tradition of wagons as second ‘mom’ cars, writes Brian Byrne. And in Ireland, a fair number of those sold in previous versions have gone as second cars to a household where a Mercedes is already the primary car.

The Class of ’72
Nineteen seventy-two was a classic year in many ways, packed full of significant, and not so important events, writes Janet Mills. Whilst pulses were being raised with the first publication of The Joy of Sex, Mercedes-Benz introduced to the world the joy of ‘S’. Many things from the era of loon pants and monstrous sideburns have slipped into the realms of nostalgia, but the S-Class Saloon is still going strong.

New Merc SL is another nice little earner (Mar 02)
More in-taking of air and sucking of teeth than greeted Liz Hurley’s safety pin dress a few years back were heard last Thursday evening at the Irish unveiling of the new Mercedes-Benz SL roadster, writes John Reilly. I worry deeply for my junior colleagues; particularly those who fawned so visibly over (and under) a very much over-priced sportscar. Full Story.

Significant upgrade for M-Class (Jun 01)
Huge sales, more than 300,000 world-wide, suggest Mercedes-Benz got the M-Class formula mix ‘spot-on’ first time around, writed John Reilly. Not so. M-Class is a ‘global’ vehicle. The majority of global brews have been disastrous. American, European and Asian car cultures are poles apart. Meeting one set of parameters, those of the USA first, and getting as many M-Classes to market as soon as possible meant a less than satisfactory fit and finish by European (and Mercedes-Benz) norms.

Fuel cells are on the move (Dec 02)
Next year, a fleet of 30 DaimlerChrysler buses will operate in ten major European cities, writes Raymond Bernard. Not a big deal, that ... except that all the vehicles will be powered by fuel cells. At the same time, 60 Mercedes-Benz A-Class cars powered by fuel cell technology will be deployed to DC customers in Europe, the USA, Japan and Singapore, to test the day-to-day use of the systems in the ‘real world’.
