With sales of 7,854 units, the German luxury brand’s numbers are up 34.6 ... Read More...

Would you mind letting me know which Mercede's dealership and salesman that you have been working with? I have been looking for a 2004 E320 and the dealership in South Atlanta is horrible.

I purchased a 2005 E320 CDI in July 2004 and now have a little over 10K miles on it. So far I have no problems with it. My wife has a 2002 C320 with about 15K trouble free miles. Previously I owned a 2001 E320 and it had about 45K miles on it when I traded. I only had a very minor temperature display problem right after I purchased it. I also had a 1995 C280 that I drove for about ... Read More...

Our lone Infiniti dealer is on our "north east" side of town, the two Audi dealers are on the ... Read More...

Consumer Reports’ annual auto reliability survey shows that the reliability of domestic cars and trucks continued to improve last year, while those from European automakers declined. Japanese and Korean automakers once again produced the most trouble-free vehicles overall. Tell me something I don't know. Consumer Reports’ analysis for each manufacturer ... Read More...
