American consumers have loved SUVS for decades, and while the type of SUV they purchase has changed a bit as gas prices have risen and fallen, they never have stopped buying them. Looking at a luxury SUV like the 2015 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, we can understand why, because with all sorts of great utility, up-to-date technologies, advanced safety features and convenient and entertaining creature comforts, it truly is a vehicle that our customers love to drive…

When consumers buy a 2015 Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV, they do so with the understanding that it's not your typical luxury automobile. Clearly built for off-roading and trail-riding, the G-Class is a beast of an automobile meant to do big things in terms of performance that other luxury SUVs simply cannot do.

Thanks to some new engine offerings, including an excellent one in the new 2015 Mercedes-Benz G550, this vehicle line will get even more…

Of all the reasons a consumer would invest in a luxury vehicle, we here at Fields Motorcars tend to believe that the interior is, in the long run, a little more important than the exterior design of the car. That's not to say that Mercedes-Benz vehicles aren't gorgeous, because curb appeal absolutely is an integral part of the brand's charm, but at the end of the day our customers spend a heck…

There are a lot of superlatives handed out every year for vehicles sold in the U.S., but we here at Fields Motorcars always are especially interested in the award that honors the best car in the world. This year, the World Car of the Year accolade was awarded to the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class at the New York Auto Show, and every Mercedes-Benz dealer in the world is absolutely thrilled about that.

The award was…

It used to be that when a consumer went to purchase a new luxury vehicle, he or she did so with an eye turned to the size of the engine. Most American consumers have been raised to believe that bigger is better, particularly when it comes to power and the entertainment one could glean from driving a big-engine automobile.

Put as simply as possible, things have changed considerably along those lines over the course of…

It has become expressly clear over the course of the last few years that luxury automobiles are going to have to become more efficient if they hope to adhere to federal efficiency guidelines and, frankly, continue drawing in customers that really do want to be environmentally conscious and keep monthly gas consumption at a reasonable level.

It looks like Mercedes-Benz will do that by adding a slew of Mercedes-Benz hybrid vehicles to the stable over…

The luxury auto game has changed a lot over the course of the last five or ten years, and vehicles like the 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 are a perfect example of how well those changes are working for all kinds of consumers. Philosophically, the GLA250 was put together to serve as a crossover on the more affordable end of the Mercedes-Benz stable.

So what makes this small luxury crossover so desirable, aside from the price? It…

In an age where nearly everything in the auto industry has already been done, it can be challenging for automakers to come up with something that is both unique and recognizable enough to get consumers to bite. Mercedes-Benz, however, thinks they may have something with a new luxury plug-in hybrid minivan concept they're calling the Concept V-ision E.

Having debuted earlier this month at the Geneva Auto Show, the Concept V-ision E stood out…

The J.D. Power & Associates Reliability Study is important for a number of reasons, not the least of which is helping gauge whether a consumer trusts a brand enough to want to come back to it at some point down the road. Based on three years' worth of consumer data that considers a number of criteria, The J.D. Power Reliability Study assigns each nameplate a score that represents the number of problems consumers have…

Luxury cars and SUVs are more attainable today than they ever have been, which is probably why Kelley Blue Book put out a list of the "Top 10 Cars Under $35,000" earlier this month. It's not surprising that two Mercedes-Benz models made the cut, as the automaker is world-renowned for making some of the best vehicles on the road today.

As your Mercedes-Benz dealer, we were very pleased to see that two of…
