Mercedes-Benz adopts a new slogan: “The Best or Nothing.” The new slogan is also in time with a new market offensive
The new dictum is set to exemplify responsibility, fascination, and perfection as the core values of the company. The slogan will be the main selling point as they launch a campaign in TV, print, and the internet and this will also feature a 3D revised logo.
The change of slogan is part of the car manufacturer’s new strategy to further emphasize that they are introducing sixteen new units by 2011. Aside from the line up of E-cell A Class, F-Cell B Class, and the Smart ForTwo, Mercedes-Benz will also introduce into their line up the start-stop system as standard feature. While being green is pretty interesting, everyone is interested with the BlueDirect powerplants.
The naturally aspirated V6 3.5L engine will give out 306 PS and a torque of about 272 lb-ft while the twin-turbo V8 will output 435 OS and a torque of about 516 lb-ft. These engines are more powerful than their older sibling but they will be a lot more economic in terms of fuel consumption with the V6 gaining 24% and V8 getting 22% more efficiency in fuel.
During the aggressive market push, Mercedes-Benz will involve all their employees as ambassadors of the brand having the new slogan as a motivational springboard.

Now, normally, I would attempt to make some type of joke regarding BMW but this time … it is not all that funny. One of the most expensive brands of cars is actually upping their prices for 2010 and honestly, I do not think that is right. BMW is raising their prices about 0.4% across the board in North America and while that might not seem like all that much … to be perfectly honest, it is. It is a lot.
For example, if you are buying yourself a 760Li, the new price is $136,600 — a raise of about $600.00. For me? That’s a heck of a lot of money! While you might not agree because you are one of the lucky ones able to afford it, it is still a huge deal for those of us just trying to get by and keep our BMW status.
Why is BMW doing this? Well, I can tell you that they are not saying. No reports have been published on the exact reason why BMW decided to suddenly raise their prices.

Okay guys, so I never ever knew that VW had a cousin – a sporty cousin at that, but the automaker Seat is actually the brand and it is quite a brand. Seat is full of all sorts of different hatchbacks and MPVs as well as some models with five doors. Take the Seat Leon Cupra R – this particular car is actually pretty cool and honestly, I think that it looks amazing!
This little car is actually super powerful and I think that it is going to be one of the most popular cars as it is sporty and cute. Have you ever noticed that the way that the car looks has something to do with how the sales do? Well, I have noticed that and I think that the Seat Leon Cupra R will not have any problems selling.
So if you want something sporty and cute – along with powerful, the Seat Leon Cupra R is definitely the car for you!
