Seven years in the making, the new C-Class will not only meet your needs, it promises to exceed your expectations. Boasting a wider and lower stance for superior aerodynamics, and new engineering standards for an entire industry, it represents the best in ergonomic design. Put simply, it's more exhilarating than ever to drive.

While every Mercedes-Benz is special, the top-of-the-line CL-Class coupe has always been something even rarer. A triumph of engineering, innovation, design, and craft, the 2009 CL-Class continues this dynamic tradition - and takes it further. From the open sweep of its pillarless cabin, to the richly hewn interior, to performance and safety features that are state-of-the-art, the CL is very much in a class by itself.

Magnetic. Spirited V-6 power, 10-way power seats with memory, digital dual-zone climate control, Burl Walnut wood trim, 7-speed Touch Shift automatic transmission, and 17-inch wheels.$47,275* 3.5L 24-valve V-6 engine - 268 hp @ 6,000 rpm

Look no further than the CLK350 for free-spirited exhilaration - whether you're alone in the cockpit or in the company of three fortunate guests. When the weather dazzles, the roof of the CLK Cabriolet retracts in 17 seconds with one touch. And an insulated triple-layer soft top plus a heated rear window ensure year-round drivability.

A sensuous example of steel as poetry, the 2009-Benz CLS is as radical as it is beautiful. In one bold curvaceous gesture, Mercedes-Benz has redefined the coupe, creating an arresting blend of aerodynamic style and substance. In the CLS550, a 5.5 liter V-8 gathers 382 horsepower, launching it from 0 to 60 in 5.4 seconds,1 while the hand-built CLS63 AMG V-8 with 507 horsepower brings the vehicle from 0 to 60 in just 4.3.1 And both boast the world's first 7-speed automatic transmission, with Touch Shift for manual-style shifting, equaling the last word in performance.

With a choice of sport or luxury models, the E350 represents revolutionary engineering to satisfy two distinct driving styles. While both share the 7-speed automatic transmission mated to a 268-horsepower V-6, 10-way power-adjustable front seats, and revolutionary PRE-SAFE® technology, that's where similarities end.The E350 Luxury Sedan soothes driver and passengers with Burl Walnut high-gloss wood and 12-speaker harman/kardon® LOGIC7® digital surround sound. The E350 Sport Sedan, on the other hand, includes 18-inch alloy wheels, a lowered sport-tuned suspension, and dual chrome tailpipes, plus Black Birdseye Maple wood trim and white-color gauges.

The GL450's 335-horsepower V-8 delivers plenty of power along with superb fuel economy. Its 7,500-lb towing capacity, ride-balancing air suspension, and optional Off-Road Package keep the best of both worlds open to you. When treating your passengers to a ride, the GL offers three rows of adult-sized seating for seven. When cargo takes priority, the liftgate opens wide for easy loading and the second- and third-row seats fold flat to give you more than 83 cubic feet of packing space.

If versatility is a virtue, then the M-Class is a noble SUV indeed. That virtue begins with the choice of four engines, a 7,200-lb towing capacity, and a driving personality that's as winning on-road as it is off. Inside, the M-Class offers two rows of seating for five adults that can be configured in any number of combinations of friends and freight. And to ease backing into and out of tight spaces, an optional Rear View Camera is available, adding even more flexibility to your driving.

The R-Class is a crossover vehicle engineered to accommodate up to seven passengers - and does so with exceeding luxury, safety, comfort, and space. Three spacious rows for six full-sized adults - including second-row captain's chair seating and convenient seven-seat option - along with six beverage holders and available appointments such as a Rear-Seat Entertainment System and five-foot Panorama roof add to the elegant surroundings.

Even before you step inside, the S550 mesmerizes - from the V-shaped trunk lid, to flared wheel arches and LED side marker lamps, to the iconic hood ornament. And throughout the cabin, furnishings like ambient lighting and Burl Walnut wood trim set an enchanting tone. But it's under the hood where the S550 truly dazzles. With a 382-horsepower V-8 powerplant paired with a seamlessly smooth 7-speed automatic transmission, it doesn't just move down the road, it devours it.

The award-winning SL-Class profile is so seductively engineered its lines are copied for practice in design schools around the world. Crowned by its signature retractable hardtop - which silently conceals itself in just 16 seconds - it's a virtuoso performer, deftly balancing raw power with unrivaled luxuries. In short, it's the ride of your life, with the handling to match.

The SLK-Class is a true two-seat sports car. Lyrical in design and road- tuned for curves, its 0 to 60 will leave you anticipating the next stoplight. While the leather-and-silver-trim cockpit makes it fun and sophisticated, the retractable hardtop signals pure exhilaration, converting the SLK-Class from coupe to convertible in 22 silent, near-magical seconds.
