2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class DRIVE PILOT

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is gathering a lot of attention for its new interior design and giant infotainment screens. Although these features are awesome, there is something else about the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class that we think is bigger news than the design ingenuity inside the E-Class cockpit.

2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC Powertrain Specifications

The release of the SLC couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. The reason for this is because the Mercedes-Benz SLK was dragged into the nomenclature change on what just happens to be the 20th anniversary of its world debut in 1996.
