22 Oct 09 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster: Talk about a Dream Car!
Purr, baby, purr, and genuflect, show some respect, for the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster. What a car, what a car, what a car — and what a match!
Definitely a range topping piece of work, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster goes a long, long way towards proving that Mercedes Benz is definitely one of the rare auto manufacturers known for making a convertible in every possible shape and size you can possibly imagine. In fact it seems like they offer one for just about every size of car that it produces. Who doesn’t love that?
You may recognize some of the styling cues on the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster from the uber popular SLR racing cars that were so big in the 1950s.
All’s I can say is give me more, more, more!

19 Jun 09 A New McLaren for 2010?
The McLaren. The car. The superhero of cars. The car that every man wants to own and that every woman wants to ride in — and drive, boyos, it is 2009, after all. When can we expect a new McLaren, since it is now official that, this year, the Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren — which was none too popular — will be no more?
Well, as a matter of fact, there are rumors that 2010 will be the year, although some experts are encouraging fans to keep their drooling in tow until 2012.
Still, let’s get back to that rumor mill, shall we? It happens to be saying that there are already plans for a presently nameless McLaren to be built at the famed facility across the pond in Woking, England. The rumored car is expected to be in competition with the Ferrari F430.
As far as power goes, we can look forward to a massive 550 HP V8 engine. All we can say is, we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed.
