Photo: Daniel Golson/Jalopnik I’m not much of an audiophile. Don’t get me wrong, I’m constantly listening to music and love going to live shows, and I’m always excited by a fancy sound system in a car.

For the next five days, I’m in possession of a 2024 Mercedes-Benz E350 4Matic, the tenth generation of E-Class (but the sixth generation to actually use the E-Class moniker). The W214 E-Class is just now starting to hit U.S. dealerships, though I won’t be able to talk driving impressions until March 28th. Until then, I … Read more
I will fully admit that I’ve never paid too much favor to Mercedes-Benz. I’ve always been more of a fan of the company’s cross-town rival Porsche, and even BMW has delivered more dynamically impressive and, um, stylistically interesting cars in the recent past. But the new Mercedes-AMG E53 might be the car that turns me … Read more
While Mercedes-Benz has announced plans to go EV-only where markets allow by 2030, with a growing lineup of electric vehicles already on sale, it isn’t giving up on internal combustion engines just yet – especially when it comes to the AMG performance division, which is using electrification to extract massive power from gas motors.
