Giancarlo Perlas November 1, 2016

The official social media page of Mercedes-Benz USA just released a new picture of the Mercedes-AMG CLA 45, which can be seen above. It came with the caption that said, “With 375 hp on tap, the AMG CLA 45 is a monster in its own right.” Then the luxury car maker proceeded to put a “halloween” hashtag on the post. The photo had been obviously enhanced by some environmental lighting and fog effects. However, it sure looked mean with its creepy, red mansion door background. The picture is just ideal for the Halloween. The subject here possesses a gun metal-like finish. It is possible though that it is only the… Continue Reading »

Bringing Technology and a More Desirable Experience to Mercedes-Benz Showrooms

Giancarlo Perlas December 10, 2015

What are your childhood memories of automobile showrooms? For me, the showroom was the end of a ritualized journey. In what became an annual event, my father would wait for the new Ford models to arrive at the dealership. We would enter a balloon-filled building, be greeted quickly by an eager salesperson, and typically be handed a brochure before we approached the new models. If my father was contemplating a purchase that year, we would test-drive the cars, haggle with a salesperson (often making offers and counteroffers scrawled on a piece of paper), and possibly continue those negotiations with a sales manager. Assuming that a deal was concluded, we would… Continue Reading »
