All-new 2012 Mercedes M-Class

A generation of the M-Class has long been overdue. I would like to introduce the all-new, much-improved, 2012 Mercedes M-Class crossover, which -- in the pictures -- looks blander than the current model.

Despite looking blander, it does look more substantial than the current model. Its horsepower ranges from 204hp to 306hp. Both gasoline and diesel engines will be offered, all of which are mated to a 7G-Tronic Plus 7-speed automatic transmission. Just don't expect any ground-breaking fuel economy numbers. However, a hybrid version would be offered eventually

The interior is just lovely, and exudes a lot of vintage class. I especially love the look of those seats and the duel-color layout. Buyers have several colors to choose from, including beige. Definitely not a bad place to spend some time.

Look at the size of that moon roof. Yup, definitely not a bad place to spend some time. The 2012 M-Class is a very nice addition to Mercedes's lineup. Let's just hope it's not priced through the room. You can read more details on it here.

Seven-Passenger BMW X7 in the Works

Recent reports have it that BMW is working on a 7-seat crossover that will go up agains the Audi Q7 and Mercedes-Benz GL-Class. The BWM X7 is expected to be based on a longer version of the X5/X6 platform. The not so popular image of large gas-guzzling SUVs may be the reason why BMW has hesitated so long, which is not to say that the production of the X7 is a sure bet.
