While Mercedes-Benz USA reported a record year for 2012, I am looking forward to 2013. This year we will see the Facelifted E-Class Sedan, Wagon, Coupe and Cabriolet (photos). Mercedes-Benz will also launch the new S-Class and CL later in the year. New the the brand will be the CLA, an entry level vehicle to compete with the BMW 1 Series among others.

smart USA will reintroduce the Electric smart car in the late Spring time. It boasts a combined 107 mpg with a range of 68 miles on a single charge.

Mercedes-Benz currently has one of the freshest product offerings in the industry and only looks to continue that trend. Watch for product announcements and launches in the coming months.
