Mercedes-Benz All-New 2008 C-Class wins the 2008 AJAC Award for Best New Luxury Car

TORONTO, Dec. 4 /CNW/ - The Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) and the more than 70 journalists who participated in the annual Canadian Car of the Year "Test Fest" in Niagara-on-the-Lake in October of this year have awarded the coveted distinction of Best New Luxury Car to the All-New 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Mercedes GLK: still no right-hand drive

In a rapidly expanding segment containing many new compact SUVs styled to disguise their bulk, the GLK, which is about 25cm shorter than the full-sized M-class, has almost Jeep-like styling, with prominent, squared wheelarches and generally aggressive lines.

2008 Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Roadster

This final collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren is, like the Coupe and 722 Edition that preceded it, a technological wonder. It shares the same carbon-fiber-reinforced-plastic bones and 617-horsepower, 5.5-liter supercharged V-8, but the Roadster's semi-automatic cloth top opens up an entirely new, more pleasurable dimension to the thrill of driving the wickedly fast two-seater.
