New Maserati Ghibli Photos are Here

Maserati Ghibli photos were released to internet a few hours ago. What is Maserati Ghibli? Ghibli will be the new competitor of Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5-Series, Jaguar XF, Audi A6. And Ghibli setting a new standard on the market even before revealed to public. Ghibli brings the Italian touch to this segment. It may not offer the same state-of-art technology like Germans but definitely fills the Italian feeling on the market.

Exterior design of Ghibli resembles with the Quattroporte but there is nothing wrong with that! Maserati Quattroporte is also one of the sexiest cars on the planet. Moreover, design of Ghibli represents the harmony of feminine curves with muscular look. Thus, Ghibli will have a unique identity.

Maserati Ghibli will be powered by two 3-lt petrol and a 3-lt diesel engines. Diesel may sound a contradiction for Maserati but in order to increase market share and become more competitive, diesel is a must! Engines are coupled with 8-speed automatic gearbox and Q4 four-wheel drive option will be available.

Mercedes New S-Class 2014 (W222) Photos are Here with Katy Perry

New Mercedes S-Klasse, sorry S-Class is revealed. New S-Class offers more technology, more safety, more power, more efficiency, more conservative look and more similarity to E-Class like in 1990s. Today, WorldCarFans.com revealed the spy photos of the new S-Class and it looks fantastic. However, if we didn’t have the E-Class on production!
Unfortunately, Mercedes went back on time and decided to design their cars based on 1990s philosophy. From C-Class to S-Class, they will look the same from the front. I was very happy when the S-Class (W220) was introduced in 1998 with a distinctive look, but we are back to beginning of 1990s with this new S-Class. My opinion, Mercedes realised that Audi is making a lot of money by similarly looking cars. But the reality is different!
Audi A8 does look like Audi A6, A6 looks like A4. Thus; Audi A8 looks like A4. And many people buy Audi A8 for this reason. Audi A8 is the only large luxury saloon, which does not pose on the road. No one realises how expensive the A8 is, or cannot understand difference between A6 and A8. By this way, you can go around everywhere without even been noticed by people. That’s what I like with Audi.
However, this does not work with Mercedes. When there is a star on a bonnet, the game is over! That’s a Mercedes. 
This new S-Class is the über conservative model since 1990s. When you look around the S-Class, you understand the influence of Maybach, F700 concept car and conservative concern in every single detail. And this confused me a lot! One side of me says, new S-Class looks fantastic and excites me; on the other hand I really don’t want to see one! Designers did their job very well. 
The interior is really well made as I can see from the photos but I need to see in real life to feel the quality of the materials. As I noticed, the new S-Class does not offer 8-zone climate control like in Rolls Royce. So, still S-Class has long way to catch up with Rolls Royce.
In my opinion, new S-Class will bring back the conservative consumers and confuse some the young generation consumers. New S-Class offers so many safety system, I really cannot write it now. Literally, S-Class has everything except ejection seat and emergency slide. Moreover, this new model definitely headed for the Bentley. The design philosophy for the interior is a very supporting statement. On the other hand, the tendency to offer wide range engine becomes a weakness for S-Class to compete with Bentley. Bentley is exclusive and people buy them because they can afford to run a huge petrol engine.
Whether you don’t like the S-Class like me or love it like many people. After this car is on market, it will be a serious competitor. I cannot say that Bentley will lose customers and Rolls Royce will a small scope earthquake. These brands are über exclusive and really hard to take their place. But I really appreciate the effort of Mercedes.
I still go for an Audi A8 W12, no one really knows the W12 and no one really understand how expensive it is. And A8 is the only visible car with stealth mode always on. If you don’t want to show your money, go for an A8.
Lastly, as you may noticed Mercedes did subconscious advertisement. Just look at the climate control screen and you will see the California Gurls / Katy Perry. I really don’t why Mercedes place this three year old but still exciting song. I think, Mercedes tried to give a message to our subconscious  New S-Class may look conservative but it is extremely young deep inside ;)
So, here is the Katy Perry, enjoy ;)

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Facelift Photos are Leaked!

Here is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class facelift photos, it is not officially announced but thanks to GermanCarForum, they managed to find them. And according to responses from the forum and my personal view, I would like to celebrate the 2013 sales performance BMW 5-Series and Audi A6.

Facelifted Mercedes E-Class is unfortunately ugly. I am not fan of Mercedes but, they do have a very well designed cars like A-Class but Mercedes destroyed one of the best seller model, E-Class.

While making the lines softer, Mercedes designers created a look of melted E-Class :( And rear head light looks exactly same as in Mercedes GL.

However, if the rumours are true about the E-Class with 1.6-lt engine from Renault, Mercedes can compensate this ugly face with charming price, thanks to smaller engine!

Audi A What

As we all know that cars do not have the technology to be in stealth mode. Especially luxury brands, it is nearly impossible to ignore them. I am sure that, if it is possible to have stealth mode in cars, it won’t work with luxury brands. They are theoretically and practically impossible to ignore. They are designed for this; they have to show their price, reflect the wealth of the customer and diversify their selves from the other cars at any condition.
Unfortunately, this theory does not work with new Audi “A What?” model. Audi did not reveal a new model called “A What”. Actually new A6 is the A What? New Audi A6 is nearly impossible to be identified at anytime and mostly at night! Last week I saw a new A6 and I wasn’t sure whether it is the new one or not.
It looks the same as A4, similar to A8 but you can diversify by their size (Hopefully!). Front look is a photocopy of A4, it does not look big and it does not look really different from the previous model. I know it offers lots of new technologies and nice interior but exterior is not that good. I was expecting to see something really sensational but it is just a interpretation of A4 and old A6, that’s all.
Mercedes E Class, BMW 5 Series and Jaguar XF look much much better than the new A6. And this proofs that, Audi targets to a new market! People who want to own luxury cars but do not wish to be spotted! Here it is the new Audi A6, the best way to go stealth mode.
Karl Lagerfeld has a bag, which say “Karl who?” Because many people gives that reaction, when you say his name. And he found a very nice solution to this. I think A6 should have a package like this, A What Package with matte black, black wheel, black leather and extreme matte black car cover!

Audi: Vorsprung Durch Matryoshka

When I see a new Audi, I always remember the Russian doll matryoshka. These are placed one inside each other. Like new Audi range. When you buy an A8, you end up to A1 very easy! Thanks to their new design identity, each new Audi looks more similar to each other and becomes terribly hard to identify!
Recently I saw the new A1 and I could not understand whether it was A3 or not. I know, A1 is smaller and has a different design. But it is quite hard to understand the difference with bare eyes. You have to use electron microscope to identify it. Matryoshka syndrome has been seen in other German brands too, Mercedes and BMW were the kind of these. During ‘90s, Mercedes C Class, E Class and S Class were typically the same with each other. It was quite hard to understand the difference from far. But BMW made it worse and 3, 5 and 7 were nearly the same and you have to place your nose in front the bonnet to see the difference.
However, both BMW and Mercedes cured from this syndrome and now we can identify their models very clearly. In following decade, we will see this in new Audis also. Even though Audi has a significant place between BMW and Mercedes, there is still a long way to travel.
