Happy Birthday Mercedes-Benz.

HAPPY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

On January 29, 1886, Karl Benz registered a patent for his gas-engine driven car. This marked the birth of the AUTOMOBILE. From then on, Mercedes-Benz has never looked back. Today 125 years later its still commanding pole position on a market place where competition has become stiffer and stiffer.

Unprecidented Lease Pull Ahead!

Six Month Pull Ahead.

Since 2008 models spearheaded by the successful C Class Mercedes Benz Canada started experiencing a boom in sales. They broke every record they had almost every month, resulting in the attainment of the number one Luxury Brand crown. However, this success also comes with challenges. There is a deluge of lease returns at the end of summer this year. This has forced Mercedes-Benz to be proactive by introducing 6 month pull ahead, which has brought a lot of excitement to customers, some of whom were already over their prescribed mileage.

In a nutshell the package is as follows:

• Maturity date July 1-Oct 31, 2011.
• 0.75% enhanced loyalty rate
• Early maturity cash offer ranges from $650 to $1400.

C63 AMG Affalterbach (Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach:AMG)

Great News For Canada.

Dieter Zetsche has done it again and our neighbours down south must be green with envy. After having sanctioned the unique dome shaped well crafted hood on the M Class only peculiar to Canada, he awards Mercedes-Benz Canada with a special limited-run edition of the vehicle affectionately dubbed the C63 AMG Affalterbach Edition, only to be found in Canada. The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is arguably in a class of its own. Keiich calls it a beast on wheels. He goes further to say that the sheer specs of the vehicle make it worthy of the Affalterbach name, which is of course the name of the city within which Mercedes-AMG has its headquarters.

 The AMG P31 Development Package (worth over $6,000) comes standard instead of optional. That’s 481 hp plus 443 lb.-ft. of torque right there. It will take the vehicle 4.4 seconds to go from 0-62 mph (0-100 kph).The Affalterbach Edition gets carbon-fiber mirror shells, a new lip spoiler and a set of black alloy 19-inchers as shown below. Interior features include AMG sport edition seats with Nappa leather, red stitching, special-edition logos and carbon-fiber trim.

This C63 AMG Affalterbach was unveiled at the Montreal Auto Show last week.

Only 30 units of this special-edition C63 AMG will be made available in Canada, and prices start from $81,500 Canadian dollars (a shade under $82,400) once the Affalterbach Edition starts sales this spring.
