Hot 'Sades CLS

If I had all the money in the world, or at least a lot more than I have now, this would be the car I would drive. 

I love the Mercedes CLS. This is a special Grand Edition with a platinum matte finish, which is drop-dead-gorgeous in my book.

Mercedes BlueZero line

In 2010 Mercedes will be introducing a line of BlueZero cars – which look very similar to a B-Class – that share the same body type but will be offered in three different powertrains: electric (a la Tesla), Hydrogen Fuel Cell, and a hybrid electric (a la Volt). PG&E had a fleet of Mercedes B-Class Fuel Cell cars that I had the pleasure of driving (briefly), thanks to a friend of mine who worked with the company. It was quiet but other than that pretty unremarkable, which is a good thing.  I keep hoping they will introduce the B-Class in the US. They keep threatening to do so.

My one issue is... did they have to chose such an unflattering shade of green?
