Here are the spy shots found on Edmund’s Inside Line blog of the upcoming C-Class with almost no disguise. With lines taken from the upcoming CL-Class coupe, the C-Class will follow the traditional luxurious styling of Mercedes-Benz. The C-Class will be likely to come with a V6 engine, which is common in this category. And by looking at these pictures, we know that there will be an available panoramic roof.

Okay. After much controversy in the World’s Most Beautiful Automobiles post, I must first say that I did not create that list. I repeat, did not. That list was messed up anyways. So I have created my own little list for those who care to listen.
The list contains vehicles that you can find on the dealer lots today, not vehicles that are about to be introduced, so not to cause any controversy.

Looks familiar? It may look like the BMW X3, but it is actually an upcoming compact SUV that will compete with major smaller luxury SUV’s such as the X3 and the Audi Q5. Caught by photographers at Hans G. Lehmann, the SUV will launch in Europe in early 2008 and reach North America by late 2008.

Looking good? Haha. This is a rendering of what a S-Class convertible would look like. I think there would be some problems with the roof since it would have to stretch the length of the long wheelbase of the S-Class. I don’t think this will ever be in production. However, the S-Class coupe (CL) might.
A quote from Car and Driver:

Redesigned for 2007 to boost safety, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated the Mercedes-Benz E-Class as only “Acceptable” in side impact ratings. How could this be? This high-end sedan was just introduced to boost E-Class sales, and already it did not even get higher ratings than the Audi A6 nor the Lexus GS. Even the Honda Accord and Chevrolet Malibu did better than the E. Not acceptable!

I came across a video showing the capabilities of the fully-armored S600. The video consists of the S600 getting blown up, gassed, and numerous other incidents that you would find in movies such as James Bond.
I’m not sure about the cheesy music, though.

My inbox is filling up! It comes to that time where I need to reorganize my folders and delete some useless junk mail. From this experience, I will learn not to send those useless chain letters ever again.
While I’m sorting my inbox, enjoy a little funny automotive video I encountered on another website.
Staged? I think so. I don’t think anyone’s really that rude in real life who honks at seniors, unless you’re a sore loser.

Another week has passed and for the week of October 16 to October 22, the most viewed high-resolution wallpaper vehicle was the 2007 Mercedes-Benz CL600. Most of the hits were from a thread someone created by linking all my pictures! Not cool, but still, I’ve made it so that any hotlinked pictures automatically watermark the CarPhotoSite.com logo, so no loss there.
Enjoy this beautiful machine!
