Electric Convertible United States

A convertible is like a motorcycle with two extra wheels. Without a permanent roof, there is no need for windows, dome lights, or stress. To make a long story short, convertibles are cool. Maybe even too cool. They are attractive. They put wind in your hair. They make tall people feel at home. They even provide light where the sun don’t shine. There is only one downside to the convertible; not enough electricity. There is only one fully-electric convertible in the United States. Can you guess what it is? Read the rest of this entry >>

2018 smart Electric Drive Coupe United States Release Date

Way back in 1998, when an alternative energy was just a dream, smart brought the smart car to market. It was one of the first of its kind, especially in the United States, where it survived Y2K and helped fuel the fire that would become the great hybrid anxiety of the 2000s. Now, countless years later, smart has grown, but the cars are still small. Now, the entire lineup of smart vehicles can be equipped with gasoline engines or electric motors. The newest addition to this list is the 2018 smart electric drive coupe, coming to the United States in less than six months. Read the rest of this entry >>

Mercedes-Benz Whensday: The Steering Wheel

The year is 1894. You just bought a brand new motor car and have been the talk of the town for the last couple of months. Life is good. You’re walking out of the apothecary, excited to fire up your motor carriage in front of the crowd huddled around your fancy car. But they aren’t huddled around your car.

What Is The Best Mercedes-AMG For Everyday Driving?

When Mercedes-Benz and AMG® officially got hitched in 1999, something happened. Something magically dangerous. Sure, AMG® was founded by two Mercedes-Benz engineers and worked closely with Mercedes-Benz since the 1960s, but still, it’s a different company, and it still counts.

Still, the cars are awesome, so do you buy a Honda to get you to work in the weekdays? No. You don’t. Read the rest of this entry >>
