Mercedes-Benz is hosting the global debut of three new vehicles at the New York International Auto Show, open to the public April 10-19, 2009 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in Manhattan. The New York Show also represents the first appearance of the 2010 model year E-Class Sedan and Coupe in North America.

The world premiere of three new Mercedes-Benz vehicles in New York spans the entire automotive spectrum – from the 2010 E63 AMG Sedan (518 hp, 465 lb.-ft. torque), a high-performance AMG version of the new-generation E-Class, to an advanced 2010 ML450 HYBRID sport utility, and the restyled 2010 GL350 BlueTEC (210 hp, 400 lb.-ft. torque) and GL450 (335 hp, 339 lb.-ft. torque).

New-Generation E63 AMG is Unveiled

Making its world premiere at the New York Show is AMG’s high-performance version of the new-generation E-Class sedan – the E63 AMG. Developed entirely by AMG, its 6.2-liter V8 engine now develops 518 horsepower and is one of the most powerful naturally aspirated production V8s ever. Built almost completely from a high-strength silicon-aluminum alloy, the 6.2-liter engine boasts a wealth of features derived from AMG’s highly successful racing efforts.

The new E63 AMG manages this immense power with an award-winning seven-speed MCT transmission that provides the direct feedback of a manual transmission with the total convenience of an automatic. Featuring an innovative start-up clutch that runs in an oil bath and replaces a conventional torque converter, the seven-speed MCT (for multi-clutch technology) combines the direct connection of a manual gearbox with lightning-quick automatic gear shifts.

North American Debut of the Next-Generation E-Class Line

The ninth-generation E-Class Sedan and all-new E-Class Coupe are making their first appearance in North America at the New York Show. The new E-Class line can be identified by a cutting-edge “cubist” treatment of the trademark twin-headlight face. Two parallelogram lights are recessed into each front fender, bracketing the three-dimensional chrome frame of the front grille. The overall body shape features a stylish interplay between taut lines and large concave and convex surfaces. In particular, a graceful line follows each rear wheel well and shapes the muscular contours of the rear fenders. While the car looks futuristic, aficionados might recognize styling cues reminiscent of the famous “Ponton Mercedes” of the 1950s.

First-Ever “Attention Assist” Standard Drowsiness Detection

The new-generation E-Class marks the first-ever debut of “Attention Assist,” which couples a steering sensor with intelligent software that evaluates over 70 different parameters to measure driver alertness. When the sophisticated system senses driver drowsiness, they are alerted via a visual and audible warning.

Other examples of trailblazing innovations include optional automatic emergency braking and an optional Driver Assistance package that includes Blind Spot Assist and a new Lane Keeping Assist feature, which alerts the driver by simulating rumble strip vibration in the steering wheel if the car drifts from its lane without the turn signals on. An enhanced Night View Assist PLUS recognizes and highlights pedestrians in the central display and an Adaptive High Beam feature senses oncoming and leading traffic and automatically modulates the high-beam headlights. Interior highlights include 11 standard air bags, the familiar column-mounted Direct Select gear selector and COMAND controller on the center console.

The E-Class line will go on sale in the U.S. initially with the E350 and E550 Coupes in June 2009, followed shortly by their sedan counterparts in July. The E63 AMG and all-wheel-drive 4MATIC Sedans will follow this fall and the 50-state E350 BlueTEC diesel model will be added next year.

A More Efficient Full-Size SUV – The ML450 HYBRID

The ML450 HYBRID features a powerful electric motor that can work together with a 3.5-liter V6 engine to attain improved fuel efficiency over the full-size ML550 – or when needed, provide the acceleration of a powerful V8. Around town, the ML450 HYBRID can even operate as a zero-emission vehicle when powered by its electric drive alone. Using a modified Atkinson cycle for maximum fuel efficiency, the V6 engine kicks in when needed and, when accelerating on a freeway entrance ramp for example, the electric drive and combustion engine work together for a total of 335 horsepower – more than many V8s.

Restyled GL-Class Features BlueTEC Clean Diesel Power

The renamed GL350 BlueTEC and GL450 have been facelifted for the 2010 model year with a restyled grille, bumpers, wheels and new lights, including LED taillights. Making its first-ever appearance at the New York Show, the GL350 BlueTEC gets surprisingly good performance and very low exhaust emissions while delivering 20-30 percent better fuel economy.

The seven-seat SUV also boasts impressive cruising range – up to 600 miles at highway speeds. What’s more, V8-like pulling power makes the GL350 BlueTEC ideal for towing when it’s equipped with an optional 7,500-lb. Class IV trailer hitch.

General Motors Corp. and Segway today demonstrated a new type of vehicle that could change the way we move around in cities.

Dubbed Project P.U.M.A. (Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility), GM and Segway are developing an electrically powered, two-seat prototype vehicle that has only two wheels. It could allow people to travel around cities more quickly, safely, quietly and cleanly - and at a lower total cost. The vehicle also enables design creativity, fashion, fun and social networking.

GM and Segway announced their collaboration, while demonstrating the Project P.U.M.A. prototype in New York City this morning.

“Project P.U.M.A. represents a unique solution to moving about and interacting in cities, where more than half of the world’s people live,” said Larry Burns, GM vice president of research and development, and strategic planning. “Imagine small, nimble electric vehicles that know where other moving objects are and avoid running into them. Now, connect those vehicles in an Internet-like web and you can greatly enhance the ability of people to move through cities, find places to park and connect to their social and business networks.”

Trends indicate that urbanization is growing, and with that comes increased congestion and more competition for parking. Cities around the world are actively looking for solutions to alleviate congestion and pollution. Project P.U.M.A. addresses those concerns. It combines several technologies demonstrated by GM and Segway, including electric drive and batteries; dynamic stabilization (two-wheel balancing); all-electronic acceleration, steering and braking; vehicle-to-vehicle communications; and autonomous driving and parking. Those technologies integrate in Project P.U.M.A. to increase mobility freedom, while also enabling energy efficiency, zero emissions, enhanced safety, seamless connectivity and reduced congestion in cities.

“We are excited to be working together to demonstrate a dramatically different approach to urban mobility,” said Jim Norrod, CEO of Segway Inc. “There’s an emotional connection you get when using Segway products. The Project P.U.M.A. prototype vehicle embodies this through the combination of advanced technologies that Segway and GM bring to the table to complete the connection between the rider, environment, and others.”

Project P.U.M.A. vehicles will also allow designers to create new fashion trends for cars, and to focus on the passion and emotion that people express through their vehicles while creating solutions that anticipate the future needs of urban customers.

The Project P.U.M.A. prototype vehicle integrates a lithium-ion battery, digital smart energy management, two-wheel balancing, dual electric wheel motors, and a dockable user interface that allows off-board connectivity. The result is an advanced and functional concept that demonstrates the capabilities of technology that exists today.

Built to carry two or more passengers, it can travel at speeds up to 35 miles per hour (56 kph), with a range up to 35 miles (56 km) between recharges.

Since the introduction of the Segway Personal Transporter (PT), Segway has established itself as the leader in the small electric vehicle space. Its approach to congestion and environmental challenges is balanced with a strong understanding of the functional needs of its customers, enabling them to do more with less. Segway has delivered more than 60,000 lithium-ion batteries to the market.

GM has been a leader in “connected vehicle” technologies since it introduced OnStar in 1996. Today, this on-board communications package connects six million subscribers in North America to OnStar safety and security services. GM has also pioneered vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications systems and transponder technology. These and additional connected vehicle technologies could ultimately enable vehicles that don’t crash and drive themselves.

“Imagine moving about cities in a vehicle fashioned to your taste, that’s fun to drive and ride in, that safely takes you where you want to go, and “connects” you to friends and family, while using clean, renewable energy, producing zero vehicle tailpipe emissions, and without the stress of traffic jams,” said Burns. “And imagine doing this for one-fourth to one-third the cost of what you pay to own and operate today’s automobile. This is what Project P.U.M.A. is capable of delivering.”

In a few months, and the other the power of Mitsubishi Evo will be launched. This time it’s the most extreme so far of the Evo X, and sports the same name badges Mitsubishi Evo FQ400 2009. This loosely refers to 403 brake horsepower of the water and the fact that the Evo is effing fast.

Chrysler Group LLC employees officially met the new boss earlier this week–and he’s not anything like the old boss – which is probably a very good thing, indeed. Chrysler is now run by Fiat, and the first item on the new agenda is profitability—something the old bosses didn’t seem to be all that concerned about.

In his first day on the job, CEO Sergio Marchionne announced sweeping changes including his senior management team and a reorganization that will force every brand to be profitable on its own.

This is the age of bailouts and acquisitions. And a bailout is a weird thing, because it’s a happy moment, yet so many questions arise. Will it be a success? Whose heads will roll? Who will get hired to turn things around? It represents a new beginning, but one burning question keeps coming up—will it be better this time or will the mistakes of the past repeat themselves?

Wednesday was day one for the new company formed by combining the assets of bankrupt Chrysler LLC with technology and management expertise from Fiat SpA. The way for the deal was cleared when the U.S. Supreme Court put an end to the appeals of a group of Indiana pensioners late Tuesday.

About 4,000 employees gathered in Auburn Hills on Wednesday afternoon to hear from Marchionne, who is also CEO of Fiat and will move from a makeshift office in a conference room to a real office as he intends to spend a lot of time in Metro Detroit.

Over the course of an hour, they also heard from Robert Kidder, who will chair the nine-person board of directors. The low-key start of operations was in contrast to the event that included bungee jumping off the headquarters when Cerberus bought Chrysler in 2007 or the taking over of the New York Stock Exchange in a giant celebration on the first day of trading when DaimlerChrysler was created in 1998.
