As stated in Motor Trend, Mercedes-Benz is no stranger to their SUV of the Year award honors. There’s been a pattern of our SUVs taking first place, but this is the first time for our brand-new GLC SUV. Formerly known as the GLK, the GLC has already made an amazing introduction in our markets. Making its fabulous debut in 2016, the GLC SUV couldn’t be more loved across all markets. It’s the perfect everyday luxury SUV. We’re sure you’re all familiar with the GLC, since it’s the hottest SUV on the road right now. Eyes lock on this vehicle and never want to leave. From the outside, it’s a masterpiece. It replaced the boxier GLK for a smoother, more modern, curvier SUV. And it sure is a sight for sore eyes.When you step inside, you’re stepping into pure luxury. As Motor Trend states, ‘Added guest judge Mike Accavitti: “Overall, this is a great vehicle. You know you’re getting into a Mercedes as soon as you open the door to the GLC. The quality of the materials and the elegance of the design are very consistent with the Mercedes-Benz brand proposition and reputation.”’ The Mercedes-Benz brand stands proud and strong.The way it drives surpasses competition by a landslide. Motor Trend states, ““The first thing I notice is how quiet the cabin is,” Evans said. “At low speeds there’s virtually no outside noise.” True, at freeway speeds there’s wind noise, but the car does a great job of keeping road and tire noise out. More important, Evans noted, the GLC300 “trounces the competition” in terms of sound levels. “The steering is beautifully fluid and nicely weighted,” Evans continued. “The GLC is a much smoother and more mature corner carver than the Jaguar F-Pace, which feels darty by comparison.” Walton said it was “easy to drive around town—no jumpy throttle mapping and with gentle and predictable brakes.” Once on Cameron Road, Walton found himself “driving harder and harder because the GLC just feels so confident, capable, and predictable.”” The reason for the win? Everything. Motor Trend also states that the GLC “sets the benchmark for a small luxury SUV.” And they’re right. Mercedes-Benz is known for their innovations, and this is one of them. And our future is looking bright too, as Motor Trend explains, ‘“The GLC300 takes the gold medal,” Walton wrote at the time. “Keep your eye on this one for next year’s SUV of the Year.” Talk about foreshadowing.’

Thanksgiving isn't all about turkeys, stuffing, football, and red wine. The name of the holiday is what it's really about. Giving thanks. (Even though all the food definitely adds a nice touch.) But that's the point. We should be thankful that we are able to put all that food on our table, that we have friends and family to share that table with us, and that we have a warm home to sleep in thanksgiving night. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our daily lives and hectic schedules that we forget to stop and take a moment to be truly thankful. And there's so much to be thankful for. Those jobs that we rush to every morning. The fact that we wake up in the morning. That special person we wake up next to in the morning. And so, so much more. Our dealership allows us to stop and take that moment to be thankful. Every year, the Buzzetta's take the time out of their busy schedules to stop and give each and every employee a turkey for Thanksgiving. (And these aren't little turkeys either - they're HUGE!) It's time like these that make us realize our job isn't just a job, it's more of a family. You can tell by the smiles on each and every employee's face that they are truly grateful for being able to work for such an amazing company. By the look on Jim Buzzetta and Bill Dodge's faces as they shake each employees hand, you can tell that they are genuinely grateful for each and every employee. It's a wonderful way of saying thank you. And we thank them. The Buzetta's don't only show their gratitude around Thanksgiving. They show it all year around. They're always donating to charities and supporting local business's - doing anything and everything they can to make our community a better place. This is something we should all try to do more often. Remember, often times, kindness is free. And even the smallest act of kindness can transform a person's entire life around. We hope you all have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving holiday and hope you find many, many reasons to be thankful this season. We wish you the best on Thanksgiving and every day! "Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings." - William Arthur Ward

Are you lost in the world of SUVs? Ready to buy, but not sure which suits you? Love them all, but can’t decide? Buying a vehicle is a huge decision, but when it comes to Mercedes-Benz, you can’t go wrong. With wet-weather season approaching, we want you to feel secure, and at ease in your vehicle. The perfect SUV will do just the trick. Here, we'll give you a little insight to help you choose. GLA-Class The GLA-Class is the smallest SUV in our lineup. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t pack a powerful punch. It’s the perfect SUV for those transitioning from a sedan to SUV, for those who love the outdoorsy-type vehicles, f or those first-time drivers, and for those who just have excellent taste. When it comes to the GLA-Class, you have three wonderful choices. The GLA250, the GLA250 4MATIC, and the AMG GLA45. The GLA250 & GLA250 4MATIC both come with a 2.0L Turbo Inline-4 Engine. The standard GLA250 comes with front-wheel drive, while the GLA250 4MATIC comes with our state-of-the-art All-Wheel Drive system. It adds confidence and control in any season. The GLA250 4MATIC comes standard with the ECO Start/Stop System, 7-Speed DCT Dual-Clutch Automatic Transmission, Shift Paddles, Off-Road Package, DYNAMIC SELECT, Versatile 4-Wheel Independent Suspension, and Electromechanical Steering.

This vehicle has AMG heritage stamped all over it, originating from the “One Man, One Engine” philosophy with a Handcrafted AMG 2.0L Inline-4 Turbo Engine. You’ll love the feel.

It’s an SUV built for those who want a little more exhilaration in their everyday. GLC-Class Now, for the second smallest SUV in our lineup... also our “perfect-sized SUV”, said by many. The GLC-Class was introduced in 2016, made to replace the former GLK-Class. It’s a smooth ride, a sleek shape, beautiful to look at, and absolutely luxurious to sit in. Every ride you take in a GLC-Class will be your best one yet. This SUV also has three wonderful models to choose from. The GLC300, the GLC300 4MATIC, and the AMG GLC43. The GLC300 & the GLC300 4MATIC share the same 2.0L Turbo Inline-4 Engine. The standard GLC300 comes with rear-wheel drive, while the GLC300 4MATIC comes with our state-of-the-art All-Wheel Drive system. The GLC300 4MATIC comes standard with our ECO Start/Stop System, 9G-TRONIC Automatic Transmission, DYNAMIC SELECT, AGILITY CONTROL, Electromechanical Power Steering, and the Direct-Steer System. It’s an SUV made for perfection. Now, the AMG GLC43. For those that mean business on the road, but like having fun while they’re at it. Performance and handling are superb. This vehicle comes with an AMG-Enhanced 3.0L V6 Biturbo Engine, ECO Start/Stop System, NANOSLIDE Cylinder Wall Technology, AMG Performance 4MATIC All-Wheel Drive, AMG-Enhanced 9G-TRONIC Transmission, AMG DYNAMIC SELECT, 4-Wheel Multi-Link Suspension, Exclusive Front Axle and Wider Track, AMG Sport Suspension based on AIR BODY CONTROL, AMG Performance Braking System, AMG Sport Exhaust, Electromechanical Power Steering, and the Direct-Steer System. Power, stylish, and strong. AMG GLC43, you sure are the whole package. GLE-Class The GLE-Class is our mid-size SUV. It was introduced in 2016, replacing the former M-Class. It’s bigger than the GLC, yet smaller than the GLS. A five-passenger car that raises comfort and enjoyment levels up a notch. It’s rugged, revolutionary, and redefined. Superb for the everyday. It comes in six models. The GLE350, GLE350 4MATIC, GLE400 4MATIC, GLE550e 4MATIC Plug-In Hybrid, AMG GLE63, and AMG GLE63 S. A little choice of everything. The GLE350 and GLE350 4MATIC both come with the same 3.5L V6 Engine, but the GLE350 4MATIC comes with our state-of-the-art All-Wheel Drive system. Perfect for any terrain and any weather condition you could imagine possible. The GLE350 4MATIC also comes standard with a 7G-TRONIC Automatic Transmission with Shift Paddles, AGILITY CONTROL Suspension, Illustrated Vehicle Display, and a Class III Trailer Hitch. The GLE400 4MATIC is just like the GLE350 4MATIC, but with a bit more horsepower. It comes standard with a 3.0L V6 Biturbo Engine, ECO Start/Stop System, 4MATIC All-Wheel Drive, 7G-TRONIC Automatic Transmission with Shift Paddles, AGILITY CONTROL Suspension, Illustrated Vehicle Display, and a Class III Trailer Hitch.

It’s for those who are dedicated to going-green. Now for the AMGs. Yes, we’re excited, too. The AMG GLE63 >and the AMG GLE63 S both share the same Handcrafted AMG 5.5L V8 Biturbo Engine, except the AMG GLE63 S gives off 577 horsepower, more than the 550 horsepower that the regular AMG GLE63 gives off. However, the performance capabilities are unsurpassable in both. You’ll absolutely love the feel. And envious onlookers will love the bold looks of your stylish SUV. The AMG GLE63 S comes standard with the ECO Start/Stop System, AMG Performance 4MATIC All-Wheel Drive, AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC Transmission, AMG DYNAMIC SELEC, AMG Sport Suspension based on AIRMATIC, Adaptive Damping System (ADS), ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM, Illustrated Vehicle Display, Aluminum Shift Paddles, AMG High-Performance Braking System, AMG Sport Exhaust, and a Class III Trailer Hitch. Like what you hear? We do too. Let your hair stick up with excitement and allow an AMG to bring more joy to your everyday.

Feast your eyes on the brand new S-Class Cabriolet. It raises the bar for all luxury convertibles, in a way you’d never imagine. Not many can say that they’ve rode with the top down while getting a nice massage. Of course, in an S-Class, that’s normal. I have to be honest, the first time I saw the S-Class Cabriolet... and every time after, I couldn’t stop smiling. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Every angle and every detail on it is flawless. From front to back, inside and out, even under the hood is immaculate. Mercedes-Benz truly outdid themselves on this one. I’m getting butterflies just thinking about it. What makes it so great? Everything. Yes. From the outside, it’s a true masterpiece. A sight for sore eyes. The sculpting is absolutely flawless and the exterior color choices are stunning. The soft top comes in four colors – black, blue, beige, and dark red – and all go beautifully with any exterior color you choose. All LED exterior lighting brightens up any night , and optional Swarovski crystals add an elegant touch. 19” Multi-Spoke Wheels are standard, and envious onlookers can’t keep their eyes off of them. They’re sporty, yet luxurious all the while.Step inside, but be careful. You may not ever want to step out. (I wish I was sitting in one typing this right now.) The four passenger cabin has enough room for all the comfort in the world. Normally with convertibles, you’d think they wouldn’t be too roomy. But like I said, the S-Class raises the bar. A new, designo Black Piano Lacquer “Flowing Lines” Wood Trim comes standard. They look multidimensional, and are extraordinary for the eyes. You’ll wonder if you’ve ever seen something so beautiful. Probably not.Comfort and convenience levels are dramatic. You’ll look back and question why you ever settled for less. Standard features include: 16-Way Power Front Seats with Memory, 5 Years of Mercedes-Benz MBRACE Connect Package, Remote Start via Mercedes me App, AIRSCARF Neck-Level Heating System, AIRCAP, Multi-Color/Multi-Zone LED Ambient Lighting, Air Balance Cabin-Air Purification System, Air Balance Cabin Fragrance System, Heated & Ventilated Front Seats, Nappa Leather Upholstery, KEYLESS-GO, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate C0ntrol, Electronic Trunk Partition, Illuminated Door Sills, Soft-Close Doors, HANDS-FREE ACCESS, Household-Type 115V Power Outlet, Illuminated Entry System, HomeLink™ Garage Door Opener, and Brake HOLD Feature.

The all-new, redesigned E-Class Sedan is a true masterpiece of intelligence and undoubtedly the most intelligent sedan in its class. It's well-ahead of its time, and it has everything you could possibly dream about in a vehicle, and more. As the 10th generation E-Class, this 2017 model has exceeded our expectations with the introduction of a number of new driver assistance systems. These technological innovations represent the gateway to autonomous driving.The exterior keeps its athletic, yet elegant body style but makes a few positive changes. An elongated hood, coupe-like roof, and broad shouldered tail-end creates an alluring silhouette. Short overhangs, a long wheelbase, large wheels, and well-defined franks make this E-Class stand out as well. Stylish, dramatic exterior lines show that this sedan craves aerodynamic speed. The E-Class still has two models – Sport & Luxury. The Sport model comes equipped with lowered suspension, and 18” 5-Spoke Wheels, and an AMG Body-Styling Sport Grille. The Luxury model comes equipped with comfort suspension, 18” Multi-Spoke Wheels, and the classic grille with the Three-Pointed Star emblem on the hood. You can see it when you look over your steering wheel and just out your front windshield. The brand stands strong and proud. Both model lines have a unique LED headlamp split design, reminiscent of the signature E-Class lamp design.The best-in-class interior raises the bar with an elegant design and innovative technology ahead of its time, and ultra-luxurious appointments. These appointments take the E-Class to the next level. The attention to detail and superior craftsmanship of the new E-Class is absolutely magnificent.As the mid-class Sedan, the new E-Class combines all the most beautiful features of both the C-Class and S-Class, while keeping the classic E-Class comfort that we’re all used to and that we all absolutely love. The beautifully flowing lines of the waterfall inspired center console are similar to that of the new C-Class, while the new dashboard design fully integrates two gorgeously clean and impressive color displays with a look extremely similar to that of the S-Class. The new look and logic of the COMAND screen is made to simplify operation while providing more beautiful, high-resolution displays. New ergonomic and sculpted seats vastly improve comfort on long journeys and create the best driving experience possible. After all, you’re driving in an E-Class, so you deserve the best.The list of new features to the E-Class is overwhelming, but the good kind of overwhelming. To start, the introduction of the Touch Control Buttons on the Multi-Function Steering Wheel is a superior functional advancement. They recognize touch and swipe gestures for you to have full control easily.The 12.3 Inch Digital Instrument Cluster Display replaces the 7 Inch Instrument Cluster with mechanical gauges. Easier to see clearly and definitely much nicer to look at.The 12.3 Inch COMAND Display. Easier to see with images containing a much higher resolution. Multi-Color Interior Ambient Lighting comes standard, with 64 different color choices. Yes... we said 64. New Key Design Debut! Wireless Charging with Premium 1 Package Car-To-X Communication comes standard. The new E-Class is the first vehicle in the world available to the public that has Car-To-X Communication. This technology allows the vehicle to virtually see miles down the road. Apple CarPlay & Andriod Auto are now part of the infotainment screen in the new E-Class.For those music lovers, the Premium 1 Package comes with the new Burmester Srround Sound System, which comes with 13 speakers and 590 watts via a 9-channel amplifier. But why stop there? Upgrade to the Burmester High-End 3D Surround Sound System with 23 speakers, powered by a 25 channel DSP amplifier & 1,450 watts of power.When it comes to safety, the new advancements are superior. There's a plethora of new technologies in the Driver Assistance Package option, new DRIVE PILOT includes technologies for easier, less stressful driving and contains many enhanced safety technologies for safer commuting. PRE-SAFE Sound truly demonstrates the commitment Mercedes-Benz has to safety. The sound system emits a brief pink noise sound to precondition occupants so a natural reflex inside the ear rapidly closes and reduces 40% of noise exposure during a collision. PRE-SAFE Impulse Side is an incredibly effective system that can increase distance between the occupant and the door to reduce the relative impact speeds at the side structure. At the correct time, the system gives a slight push to the center of the vehicle. The push is initiated by a very rapid inflation of the air chamber in the seat bolster.With more standard equipment than ever, as well as an abundance of new technological innovations, the 2017 E-Class absolutely blows away the competition. It's coming to dealerships in the summer of 2016 and we can hardly wait.

Mercedes-Benz is all about enhancements, changes, and innovations. One of the new options they're tossing in this year is a limited, special edition CLA250 - the "Edition Orange." It's an eye-catcher, to say the least. All eyes will be on you when you drive by in this beauty. From the moment you lay eyes on it, you'll start believing in true love. The CLA-Class as a whole has given more drivers, especially the younger generation, an opportunity to get behind the wheel of a luxury brand. It's affordable price doesn't mean that it's any less stylish or efficient as all other Mercedes-Benz. A lot of people will say the CLA250 is one of the most stylish vehicles Mercedes-Benz has made yet. With its diamond-block grille, frame-less door glass, and sweeping tail lamps... it was designed to capture glances - and to keep them. The CLA-Class is fun plus power. Performance plus style. Exhilaration plus comfort. It's an exception to the every day, and the new "Edition Orange" model will make you stand out from the crowd. With only 750 units being sold in the United States, it sure will be looked at as a rarity. Don't be alarmed when onlookers do a double-take... and probably a triple-take too. What's so different about this edition, you ask? Well, let us tell you. It comes in Cosmos Black Metallic with Black/Orange Leather with DINAMICA. Contrast orange stitching for the Black Upholstery makes the interior appear bolder than you could possibly imagine. The contrast stitching is a new option available for 2016 CLA models, and it's a great decision to make indeed. This edition also comes with the new Night Package for the CLA-Class, which adds dark trim throughout the interior and exterior.This CLA250 comes loaded with all the amenities you want, and some you even forgot you needed. To name a few, this CLA-Class comes with AMG Body Styling, Ambient Lighting (12 Colors), Heated Front Seats, 8" Color Display Upgrade, 18" Black AMG Wheels with Orange Inserts, Bi-Xenon Head Lamps with LED Tail Lamps, Panorama Sunroof, Blind Spot Assist, MB-Tex Covered Dash with Contrast Stitching, and more!

He said the car was solid at that speed! That's an amazing Mercedes-Benz vehicle for you. After that, he got to visit Switzerland! He drove the car through small towns and beautiful villages. Most of the streets weren't designed for cars, never mind the S-Class! Finally, he got his gorgeous Mercedes-Benz washed before shipping it home when he dropped it off in Zurich.

May is National Pet Month! What better way to let our pets know we love them than bringing them along on our trips? Instead of leaving your pet with a sitter, allow them the thrilling experience of a car ride. We all know how much pets seem to love them! (Some pets, that is.) However, a road trip with a pet takes a lot more than just loading them in the car and being on your way. Here are some tips to get you prepared for the next time you take your furry friend on a trip: Bring your pet for a check-up. Getting a check-up for your pet before going on a trip can go a long way. The last thing you need is your pet getting sick on a trip, so ensuring they have all their necessary vaccinations is very smart. The veterinarian can also issue a health certificate for your pet, in which you will need when crossing state lines. Go on trial runs. Before taking your pet on a long trip, take him/her on a few trial rides, gradually increasing the length of time in the car each time. That way, you can detect signs of anxiety or motion sickness before taking them on that long trip. Plan some restraint. Pets can get seriously hurt when reigning free in vehicles, as can humans when they're trying to control their pet while driving. A pet restraint will give you the freedom and relief of knowing that your pet is safe and secure. Restraints can be: pet barriers, pet seat belts, pet car seats, and pet travel crates. Make your pet familiar with whatever form of restraint you choose before going on your trip. Get an identification tag for your pet. When in unfamiliar territories, it's not certain how your pet is going to react. In the case of the unfortunate event that your pet runs off, an ID tag is very important. Listing your name, phone number, address, and where you will be staying is an absolute necessity. Also, bring along a photograph of your pet, just in case. It will make it a lot easier to ask around and find your pet with an actual picture. Remember all important things to pack. It's important to bring along an ample supply of food for your pet while traveling. Relying on picking up food along the way isn't going to cut it, being that you never know if a store along the way will carry the specific brand your pet is used to. Plus, it's not advisable to feed your pet food they're not familiar with while traveling. Traveling is known to sometimes upset a pets stomach, so keeping their food intake to a minimum is advised, as well as making sure your pet is only eating pet food and not human food. Packing a first aid kit for your pet is also essential. You never know when accidents will happen, so packing a first aid kit may come in handy. It's always better to be safe than sorry. Don't ever leave a pet unattended in your vehicle. In parked vehicles, the temperature can rise up to 120 degrees in just minutes, even with the windows open. Therefore, leaving a pet unattended in a vehicle is never okay under any circumstances. Don't let your pet stick their head out the window. Many pets find that the most exhilarating part of the trip is sticking their head out the window, but it's not safe to do it. They can get hit with flying objects/debris and get seriously injured. Make frequent pit stops. Making frequent pit stops for bathroom breaks and water breaks for your pet is crucial. Make sure they are always on a leash when letting them out of the vehicle, and make sure you bring bags to clean up after your pet. Lastly, have fun with your pet! Pets can make better travel companions than people, and they'll be much more appreciative that you brought them along. Happy National Pet Month to all those animal lovers out there!
