2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK 350

When Mercedes-Benz launched the then new GLK in 2009, the auto industry was still in a bad way.  Sales were down in every segment, and some questioned the sanity of Mercedes for launching a premium, small, SUV.

2010 Tesla Roadster 2.5 Sport Review

The Tesla Roadster needs no introduction to enthusiasts—it is simply known as “the electric supercar.”

The car’s performance (0-60mph) and price tag ($158,000) are familiar supercar territory, but the fact that it costs around $4 to ‘fill up’ puts it all alone for the moment.
