Mercedes iPad Magazine: C Coupe in Istanbul
Mercedes recently revealed a new car called C Class Coupe, which replaces the Sportcoupe. And honestly, I really liked it! During the PR campaign, Mercedes took a small footage for C Coupe in Istanbul, Turkey around couple of months ago. And it appeared on Mercedes Benz TV, also on their social networks.
A few minutes ago, I was reading the Mercedes’s iPad magazine and C Coupe was there! Mercedes placed the footage from Istanbul but with a mistake! They wrote something under the video that is not correct at all. "With the C Class Coupe through Turkish capital". Unfortunately, Istanbul is not the capital of Turkey, Ankara is the capital city! Probably, the agency missed this information.
Still very nice magazine to read and helps to strength your existing emotional bond with das Mercedes.

Mel Kirk: Monaco Grand Prix by a woman point of view
I recently discovered a new blog that is a real unique one. It is written by Mel (@MelKirk), actually it is not written! It is shot by Mel. Because, there are only few words appear on the blog, and the rest of it is on the video. But these videos are not the usual ones, which you can find on YouTube regularly. Actually, she never says any words on her videos, she just pop ups papers with the words. Yes, she never speaks but she speaks through the papers!
What is the relationship with the cars? Actually, she was really lucky to attend Monaco Formula 1 race and she shared their feelings through this lovely video.

Hummer H1 Rolls Over
I don't like to post funny videos from YouTube but some of them are really interesting. They should be shown to people for teaching, what not to do with their vehicles!
This person will be remember for decades! Thanks to his achievement to roll over a three-tonne Hummer H1 only by his hand.

Car of the Day # 17 Jaguar XKR-S
This very unique Jaguar XKR-S was spotted at Canary Wharf Motor Show. Despite its interesting colour, this car is a monster! It produces 550 HP from its 5-lt supercharged engine and 4.4 seconds to reach 100kph. And much cheaper than its competitors, just £100,000! It is much cheaper than a Ferrari, Aston Martin, Mercedes AMG Family, and Porsche.
Reliability of Range Rover Evoque
For very long time, Das Mercedes releases videos of their state of art technology of reliability. I guess, they have been producing these videos for last four hundred years. How Das Mercedes is well made, how it is well checked, how the competitors cannot keep up with them. Actually, you suppose to emerge the last idea from the videos, they never mention it :)
I cannot deny the reliability of Das Mercedes autos expect the years from 1997 to 2004. Those years, the robots, which were supposed to test the reliability of the cars were on long holiday. You can see this on first generation M Class, E Class during (2002-2004) and some other models also. Hopefully, they spend nearly one billion euro to increase their quality. And they did it!
Meantime, the competitors close the gap between Das Mercedes. Fifteen years ago, you can see the reliability and quality gap between Das Mercedes and the others, but now the gap is quite close! And for some particular brands, there is no gap with Das Mercedes. How I know? Land Rover recently revealed a reliability and quality testing stage of the new Range Rover Evoque. In old days, we only see this type of videos with Mercedes cars but now we see Land Rover vehicles! As we can see, Land Rover is going to reveal more reliable vehicles over the years, starting with the Evoque. Please don’t manipulate this sentence and assume that, “current vehicle are not reliable and after this video, they will be reliable”. Of course not! This is just a short summary of what Land Rover has done to improve their quality and reliability for last years.
From my internship experiences from passenger vehicle sales and aftersales departments, some customers cannot be satisfied ever, whatever technology you use!

Mini: The Rolls Royce has its price tag now :)
Today I have two news! One of them is good and one them is bad. Let’s start with the good one; the price of Mini Inspired by Goodwood is announced and bad one is, it is too much.
My least favourite brand has the most charming model. This is how I define the Mini Inspired by Goodwood. I could not manage to love Mini but this Rolls Royce styled model altered my perception, but only for one model! The Goodwood model is a great composition of Rolls Royce and Mini together in one piece. You have the agility of the Mini and exquisite quality, comfort and design of a Rolls Royce at the same time. As I mentioned, this is the only Mini I would go for!
As this new model is based on Roll Royce philosophy, the price would not be at Mini levels. Eventually, it is expected to be at the Rolls Royce level or Aston Martin Cygnet level !?! This is the new trend, Aston Martin started with Cygnet and Rolls Royce followed by the Mini. Small luxury urban vehicle for people who already have a big luxury car but suffering serious problems to drive them around the city. And they don’t have a good small alternative car for their Rolls Royce or Aston Martin. So, Aston Martin revealed Toyota iQ based Cygnet and Rolls Royce revealed Mini based, Goodwood by Mini. However, there are no Rolls Royce logos or brand on the Mini Inspired by Goodwood.
Okay, the price £41,000! In terms of Euro and US Dollars, this is a lot of money. Because, its target customers are the people who already own a Rolls Royce! So, this is nothing for them. My opinion, wait for one year and buy Mini Inspired by Goodwood as second hand. It would be cheaper and a good deal!
