The shutter-happy crew at Automotive Traveler happened upon a 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class" undergoing some extreme-weather testing in Death Valley (having apparently survived cold weather testing). The new W212 E-Class will probably debut in Frankfurt ahead of a 2009 release for the sedan. No word on whether we'll get to see a Hammer version, but we wouldn't hold our breath.

So, they got their hands on a Genesis and brought along a Mercedes E550 to see if Hyundai really has the beginnings of a top-tier luxury brand. Obviously, the Benz costs a pretty penny more than the Korean upstart, but you might be surprised just how comparable the two are. [Motive]

This is one of those videos which leaves you just shaking your head. Operating an automobile is apparently a monumental task for this E-Class driver and the result is both amusing and confounding. And sad. Since she just drives away after her and her band of friends assess the damage. We're assuming she went directly to the toll office to pay for the damage. Yeah, that's what she did.
