Well, not in those exact words but Mercedes-Benz did launch a ChatGPT project within its Mercedes-Benz Cars Operations 360 (MO360) digital ecosystem that aims to maximise efficiency for global vehicle production, starting with the new Mercedes Modular Architecture (MMA) platform that will underpin the next Mercedes-Benz CLA Class.

We’ve covered the W176 Mercedes-Benz A-Class last week but for those who aren’t fans of hatchbacks, there is an alternative – a used first-generation (C117) Mercedes-Benz CLA. There is, however, a price to pay (literally) for the sexy four-door coupe design, as we will get into it shortly. What makes this generation of the Mercedes-Benz CLA more appealing is the fact that you can’t buy the current-generation CLA via official channels, the ‘regular’ non-AMG CLA at least. This makes the first-gene

The move is part of the company’s shift to move away from chasing after sales volume, to prioritize lower volume but more profitable, higher-end products. “What has always been the core of our brand is now also the core of our strategy: the luxury segment.

We’ve previously reported that the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan (V177) will not be replaced after the current generation model ends. The move is part of Mercedes-Benz Cars’ efforts to streamline its product offerings, focusing on higher margin products. It begs the question, is Mercedes-Benz really going to exit the compact sedan segment entirely? Not at all, according to a recent report from German business publications Automobilwoche. The report claims that the vacuum that will soon be left in

Probably the sleekest and sexiest model in the Mercedes-Benz compact series is the Mercedes-Benz CLA. The CLA offered those that prefer a more modern look over the classic sedans that Mercedes-Benz had on offer a compromise with the CLA. Unfortunately, you can no longer purchase a standard CLA new as MBM only has the CLA 45 on sale now, but there are still plenty on the used car market. But what are the issues to look out for?

Last week, we showed you ten expensive-looking cars under RM 100k and some of you think those selections don’t quite shout ‘appearing rich’. Indeed, the Proton X50 and X70 may feel expensive but they’re still a Proton (or Geely) underneath. For this week’s Top Rank Millionaire-Looking Motors (MLM), we’re bumping up the budget to RM 200,000 and unlike the last list, we’ll be focusing only in the used car market. We’ve selected 8 for this list and you can be certain these fine cars will make you g
