History of the 1976-1985 Mercedes-Benz W123 By the admission of Mercedes-Benz,
the W123 platform was not revolutionary, but “rather a thoroughly mature
mid-range car combining the latest engineering with tried and tested design
features”. This sober summary reflects the lasting legacy of the W123 – a
solidly built automobile with timeless poise and class. Introduced in 1976, the W123 platform
included a four door sedan and sleek coupe. The W123 replaced the aging W114
and W115 platforms (also known as the “Stroke Eights”), which at the time were
the most successful Mercedes passenger cars to date. The incoming W123s were
styled after the new S-Class, which was a clear break with the classical style
of the Stroke Eight. The W123 offered a longer wheelbase, a wider track, and a
larger body. The 280C coupe was 85 mm shorter than the sedan, and was absent a
B-pillar, which lent the car a unique and sporty style. The coupe and sedans
were soon joined by the diesel-powered 300TD station wagon in 1978 – the first
Mercedes wagon. The cars were immensely popular and less than a year into
production many dealers had a 12-month waiting list. Cars for immediate
purchase were offered in a sort of black-market – at a healthy premium. The
station wagon, or “touring” as it was called by Mercedes, was on a backlog of three
years by the 1980s. This is a testament not only to the popularity of the
touring, but also Mercedes’ creation and then domination of the luxury or
“lifestyle” station wagon market. In the U.S., the W123 was available
in all three body styles, but due to stricter emissions regulations, a limited
range of engines. The naming convention was straightforward, with the first two
numbers representing displacement in liters and the letters representing body
style and fuel. No letters indicate a carbonated engine (i.e., the 230 carried
a 2.3-liter inline four available from 1977-78), D for Diesel, E for fuel
injection, T for touring or station wagon, and C for coupe. The 300D (3.0-liter
inline 5-cylinder diesel) was available with a turbocharger in 1981, and labeled
as such. Top of the range was the 280E and 280CE, both of which featured
2.8-liter, inline 4-cylinder, fuel injected engines capable of 142 hp. The W123 platform came equipped with
many optional and standard class-leading features. The car was better engineered
for crash protection – accomplished with a strengthened passenger cage and
reinforced roof. Optional was a safety steering column engineered to crumple
rather than enter the cabin in a head-on collision. From 1980 on, the W123
offered optional anti-lock brakes as well as an optional air bag after 1982.
The 1982 model year also marked a major facelift for the W123 – all models were
equipped with rectangular broadband headlights and power steering was offered
standard across the range. When the W123 went out of production
in 1986 it had surpassed the Stroke Eight as the bestselling Mercedes-Benz with
more than 2.5 million cars sold. Mercedes built the car to last, and many are
still on the road today. As a testament to the car’s longevity, it is popular
in Africa as a bush taxi, covering thousands of miles of rough roads with only
basic maintenance. The 3.0-liter inline 5 diesel in the 300D, while lacking in
power, is considered to be one of the most reliable engines ever built. The
timeless design is sure to last as long as the car itself, making this car a
classic that is here to stay.

2015 Mercedes C-Class order guide leaked
Wed, 23 Apr 2014We may not have an official starting price for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but as of right now, we can tell you about all the options for the eagerly anticipated new luxury sedan.
Benz Report has the entire order guide for the C-Class, with breakdowns from package pricing to how many different colors, wheel designs and lighting configurations will be available when the new model hits dealers later this year. As we mentioned in our initial review of the C-Class, there will be a pair of engine options, with the now familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder available in both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, which can be had in all-wheel drive, only.
From there, though, the available options are impressive. Much like it does on the current car, Mercedes is offering a pair of packages that sort of define the entire car. With the C300, buyers will have the choice of either a Sport or Luxury package in addition to the base trim, while C400 buyers are limited to the Sport model.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.
Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG spied in Sweden
Wed, 16 Jan 2013We've spotted the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLA testing a couple times in recent months in getting closer to production form and shedding camouflage, but now it looks like we're see our first look at the AMG version of this compact crossover. The low ride height might trick some into thinking that we're just seeing the already-confirmed A45 AMG out testing, but the unique beltline, rear doors and side windows confirm this is some version of the GLA-Class.
What makes us so confident that this is the AMG model? Well, for starters, this prototype has beefier brakes with cross-drilled front and rear rotors and bigger front calipers, but it also sports dual exhaust outlets poking through the rear fascia and a suspension that has been lowered considerably. Our spy shooters said that this car's exhaust note made it almost certainly an AMG model.
Just to be clear, the GLA AMG will not be powered by a 4.5-liter engine. The closely related A45 AMG will carry the "45" in its name to celebrate the first 45 years of AMG, and our sources seem to indicate the AMG version of the GLA will do the same. We're expecting this sporty crossover to produce as much as 350 horsepower from its AMG-tuned four-cylinder engine, and like the all-new E63 AMG, it could very well come standard with 4Matic all-wheel drive.
