Mercedes Benz manufacturer Daimler will go ahead with earlier plans to produce 10,000 electric-powered vehicles by 2012, according to Thomas Weber, director for research and development at Daimler.

Mercedes has revealed pictures of the new 2009 G 55 AMG. This new SUV has been given upgrades in safety as well as comfort (which is something we always appreciate) and a new design that we can all appreciate.

 Thundering out of the Mercedes-AMG  plant in Affalterbach, Germany, the C63 AMG dominates the C-segment that has previously been led by the BMW M3. To go after the likes of the M3, RS 4, and Lexus IS F, would appear to be a very long and misguided shot, but Mercedes pulls it off and then some.
