Following the successful start to the year with a clear rebound against
the first quarter 2009, Mercedes-Benz is pushing forward with its model
offensive on the U.S. market. Taking center stage at today’s Mercedes press
conference on the 2010 New York International Auto Show was the world
premiere of the new-generation R-Class. The original SUV tourer has been
extensively updated – including a completely redesigned front end. A further
highlight was the world premiere of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3. The racing
version of the SLS AMG boasts stunning design and throroughbred racing
technology, and makes its debut to coincide with the market launch of the
road-going version. On top of that are three attractive new E-Class models
for the U.S. market – the debut of the E 350 BlueTEC marks the arrival of
another incredibly clean and efficient driveline variant of the successful
sedan, which holds a 35 percent share of its market segment in the U.S. and
remains the undisputed number one in its class. In May, the U.S. market will
also welcome the new E-Class Cabriolet and the E-Class Wagon, which comes to
market as the E 350 4MATIC with permanent all-wheel drive.
