I want you the consumer to be able to make an informed decision when it comes to buying a new Smart Car.
Many have said that the car is a "death trap", or that it is "unsafe, "unreliable" or not a "real" car. Let me a sure you that the car is anything but what some have said.
Now the car may not be for everyone, but it is a fun car to own and to drive, not to mention to park. With a 5-star safety rating and a proven track record for safety and reliability, (just check out the many links on my web page), the car will get you where you need to go without leaving a large hole in the environment.
The car is 95% recyclable, 40 plus mpg and seats 2-people. How many cars, SUV's etc. do see on your commute every day that are only hauling 1-person? Do you wonder why we are not more concerned? I do.
Some reviews have said that the car has a quirky transmission--but that is exactly what I love about the car, the manual transmission is fun to use, and has an automatic mode for the occasional drink in hand moment.
I have a customer who just bought a smart car--who by the way owns a whole collection of expensive and exotic cars, he said to me that the reason he likes the car so much is that it costs a little more than the average econo-car, that it has personality, and gets me around the university. Many have said that the car costs to much for what you get. But what they don't say is that this car is a Mercedes Benz, and that is has 125 years of engineering under it's skin. That the car holds it's value and that it is manufactured in a facility that is concerned with the environment. There is more to a car than the price--how is it made? Is it safe? Is it practical? Does it make sense? etc.
I think that this car has been mis-understood, and my hope is that people will take a closer look, and realize that although the car is not for everyone, it is for the quirky, fun, and conscientious among us.

So you just woke up--looked out the window and what did you see? Yep! SNOW. Now your heart is either beating with excitement or palpitating with fear and anxiety.
If you are struck with fear and anxiety then it's time to think about a 4matic all wheel drive vehicle from Mercedes Benz. The sophisticated electronic engine management system combines ABS, ESP, Traction Control and 4 wheel drive to transfer energy to the wheels in order to keep you moving forward, safely and confidently.
The 4Matic is available in nearly all of the Mercedes Benz line up, including the S-Class. Believe me when I say that if you are driving a rear wheel drive car, this all-wheel drive set up will turn your apprehensions into confidence. A front wheel drive car is fairly adequate when it comes to getting around, but as you know having another set of wheels grinding away in deep snowy or muddy conditions can make or break that confidence.
A $3,500.00 option that is well worth every dime, especially if you have ever had the white knuckle experience of driving home from work in an unexpected snow storm.
The 4Matic system is always engaged insuring you with confidence. Cornering, starting and maneuvering in all weather conditions gives you the confidence that you expect from the leader in innovation and safety. Mercedes Benz is committed to your safety.
Evenly distributing the power to the four wheels helps keep the car stable and focused on the road, not the gutter. I see many people come into the dealership stating that they will not go another winter season without all-wheel drive. Most of the cars that we bring into the dealership are 4matic all wheel drive units. These 4Matic systems operate year in and year out with the reliability that you expect from Mercedes Benz.
Please leave your winter driving experiences on the comment board. If you are driving a 4Matic let us hear about some of the places you have got your car out of.

As you know Mercedes Benz and Lexus have been neck and neck for years. Many believe that Lexus stole Mercedes' thunder 10 years ago, others feel that the thunder has never left, but that the lost souls of the luxury car market got lost in the Toyota/Lexus abyss--until they have again seen the light, and are returning to the heaven found only in a Benz.
Recent statistics show that Mercedes Benz is in fact back on top, selling more units than Lexus and leading this year for the first time in a decade.
The newly redesigned E Class is simply an engineering master piece. Grace beauty and aggressive styling make the E Class one of the safest and finest automobiles in the world, and at an affordable $60,000.00 price tag.
If you have not sat behind the wheel of one of these extraordinary vehicles--a test drive is definitely in order.
The first thing you notice when driving the E Class is its quality, stiff but nimble ride. It cruises with ease, passing all those inferior domestics, leaving you with a since of pride, security, and passion. The ride is comfortable due to the larger, roomier interior.
The C Class is a classy entry level car that will impress your friends and colleagues without breaking the bank.
AMG has taken the extraordinary and turned it into the super extraordinary! FAST, FAST, FAST is what you experience behind the wheel of any AMG.
ML, GL and the new GLK are world class off road capable SUV's with style and comfort that you deserve. Spoil yourself with one of these babies and you will never again go back to a leaky, rattely ol' domestic, thats for sure. The Bluetec diesel is fabulous and gets great mpg's to boot. It simply rock and roles when the accelerator is pressed--and may I note: no black smog, no rattle trap sounds, just pure Mercedes Benz!
Mercedes Benz has a slogan-"the best or nothing" drive one of these puppies and you will agree.
