subject: Chicago C-class Wagon Drivers Will Have New Mercedes Options In 2011 [print this page] Luxury car makers are ramping up for the 2011 model year and Mercedes-Benz is not about to be left behind. To compete with the likes of BMW and Audi, Mercedes-Benz is rolling out some impressive models and buyers of the Chicago Mercedes G500 will want to check them out.
For starters, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet, a comfortable four-seat convertible will boast an insulated, power soft-top and a quiet cabin. The 5.5-liter V8 will satisfy with 382 horsepower, or there's an option of the 3.5-liter V6 with 268 horsepower. Buyers will be pleased with the $58,000 price.
Drivers looking for more flair can opt for the gull-wing 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, which pays homage to the 1955 300SL. Beauty aside, the 6.3-liter V8 engine with 563 horsepower will easily blow away the competition-- on the road and in the showroom. But it may not be for everyone. This piece of attitude will set buyers back around $183,000.
For the more practical buyer, Chicago C-Class wagon dealers recommend the 2011 E-Class Wagon. This family vehicle is modestly priced at $56,200 and is styled after the E-Class sedan. Mercedes-Benz is keeping quiet about the engine, but speculation is that it will be the 3.5-liter V6 or 5.5-liter V8 offered in the rest of the Mercedes fleet.
For buyers wanting to go the green route, Chicago Mercedes G500 dealers recommend the 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class. This hybrid will be based on the current CLS, but with some twists to the exterior. With a price of about $72,400 the CLS-Class will be a favorite among eco-minded luxury car buyers.
Lastly, let's talk about a model that hasn't quite achieved the popularity that Mercedes-Benz counted on: the R-Class. In hopes of changing buyer's perceptions about this model, Mercedes has given it facelift with a new style that's more similar to other Mercedes models and a toned-down, grille, fascia and fenders. This new version will be available in just a couple of months and will be priced around the $49,300 mark, a price that should generate interest.
Chicago Mercedes G500 dealers are confident that customers will be impressed with the new Mercedes-Benz lineup and invite them to visit the showroom as the new models arrive over the next few months.
When it comes to dependability and safety, Mercedes-Benz has the reputation for being a leader in both areas and drivers of Chicago C-Class wagons will be reassured to find that not only is Mercedes the maker to go to for those seeking a sporty, powerful drive, but also for those looking for a comfortable, family vehicle. With a large selection of models and price ranges, Mercedes-Benz has a fit for everyone from the first-time buyer to the growing family and those in between.
