German car brands are going the way of Nokia: Why won't Mercedes and VW see 2035?

German cars were once considered untouchable. Mercedes-Benz, with its star on the bonnet, was synonymous with prestige, precision and engineering perfection. But today, as the industry struggles with global competition, high costs and misguided strategic decisions, the German automotive titans seem to be sliding down the path that Nokia once trod – from market king to mere footnote in the history books. The car brands from Germany are in clear free fall. Can anything save them?

Mercedes-Benz Vision Iconic Concept: when the past leads the future

When Mercedes shows a concept, time stands still. The Mercedes-Benz Vision Iconic Concept is more than a car — it's a statue in motion, a tribute to a golden age of elegance and at the same time a dazzling glimpse into the future, where chrome becomes cool again and sunny color recharges the batteries.

Audi SUV: Mercedes G-Class gets a rival – Audi is preparing its own off-road monster

When Audi boss Gernot Döllner says “don't give up on that dream” and adds “stay tuned” in an on-camera interview, it's not an empty PR stunt — it's a signal. After months of whispers, occasional hints and concepts, it now sounds like Audi is planning a serious step into the world of luxury SUVs, which it has never been a part of. So, an Audi SUV.

Mercedes-Benz GLC with EQ Technology 2025: The iconic SUV, with a new design language, is a new era of stardom

The Mercedes‑Benz GLC is Mercedes’ biggest hit – now battery-powered, with a new “iconic grille”, MB.OS brains and a 39.1‑inch HYPERSCREEN display across the entire dashboard. Does it sound like a concept? It’s not. It’s a series that will hit the roads from the end of 2026.

The new Mercedes GLC EQ Hyperscreen: When the dashboard becomes an iPad on steroids

Mercedes-Benz has thrown down the gauntlet to anyone who thinks the dashboard is just a bunch of buttons and some leather with the electric GLC EQ Technology. Imagine a 39.5-inch screen that stretches from pillar to pillar and screams, “Look at me!” That’s the Mercedes GLC EQ Hyperscreen, my friends, and Mercedes says it’s not just an Instagram gimmick. Is it?

Mercedes-AMG GT2 Edition W16: The most powerful racing car you can buy

Imagine a car that's too wild for the road, too raw for the racing series and too exclusive for all but a lucky few. This is the Mercedes-AMG GT2 Edition W16, the most powerful customer racing car Mercedes has ever created. The first-generation AMG GT (C190) may have lost its license plate, but it has gained something far more exciting: unlimited freedom on the racetrack. With an engine that churns out 818 horsepower and aerodynamics that would put a jet to shame, this car is proof that Mercedes-AMG can still do something that takes your breath away – literally. So let's take a look at what makes this machine so special.

You won't believe it: BRABUS XLP 800 6×6 Adventure goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds – and costs over €1.3 million

This is not an SUV, this is a geological phenomenon with a registration. The BRABUS XLP 800 6x6 Adventure takes the G-Class, adds another axle and 800 wild “horses”. The result? A pickup that whistles at sidewalks, curbs and common sense.

Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake (2026) – an electric station wagon with stars on the roof and a little too much light magic

Mercedes has unveiled the first-ever electric Shooting Brake in the brand’s history in Copenhagen. On paper, it’s a technological masterpiece with a 761 km (473 mi) range and a roof studded with 158 illuminated stars. But on the outside, the new CLA looks dangerously similar to the old one – so many chrome stars and LED strips that you could easily mistake the season for December. This is the Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake (2026).

Mercedes EQS: “10 years too early” or simply too jelly-like?

If the saying goes that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then in the case of Mercedes’ electric flagship EQS, it’s more than obvious that most of those beholders have poor eyesight. Or they’re simply not fans of giant, luxurious jelly beans. I’ll admit that I don’t think the EQS is bad in person at all – but hey, I’m clearly in a small, weird minority. It may not have the imposing presence of the S-Class, but the EQS was never intended to be a direct successor to the legendary king of the road. Perhaps we’ve been a little too harsh on it?

G-Falcon Carlex: Mercedes G63 transformed into an extravagant hunting sculpture – because why not?

The Mercedes G-Wagon is like a fashion handbag among the rich – expensive, very popular and regularly subjected to all sorts of “unique” modifications that should often remain just sketches on napkins. But when the Polish wizards from Carlex Design take on the project, looking for inspiration in an eccentric Swedish rifle, things quickly get out of hand – in the best possible way. The result is the G-Falcon Carlex.
