History Of Mercedes-Benz W245

The Mercedes-Benz W245 (or T245 ) is a MPV compact produced from 2005 to 2011 by the car manufacturer the German Mercedes-Benz and corresponding to the first generation of so-called B-Class . The project T245 was started without too much publicity by the German company shortly after the one that would lead to the creation of Class W169 . This was a project to build a minivan largest of the second generation of the Class A, but based on the same platform and the same mechanics. He had to redeem the failure of the Vaneo , the previous MPV based on the first series of the Class A, W168 , but in turn larger in size. Compared to the Vaneo, however, workers at the Mercedes-Benz Style Center directed by Peter Pfeiffer received between the various directives to create a vehicle body less stylistically related to the Class A and more aggressive and sporty. If you want nothing but the very best for your Mercedes-Benz W245 and want the highest value for money car mats, It is necessary when you driving with your family going on a trip. But the Trip will inevitably boring. If you have a car DVD Player, you will solve the problem.

If you're tired of the usual costume party and picking out who has the most unique or scariest costume, why not try having a masquerade? Or, since anime and comic books are also still very popular, why not throw a cosplay party and see which of your friends are creative enough to come up with the most convincing costumes. Do you have a nice, big backyard? If so, then a Halloween scavenger hunt is in order. Ask the children to find as many spooky stuff as possible from the objects you've hidden and give extra prizes to whoever wins. Pumpkin decorating and apple bobbing are activities that are also quite popular during Halloween. If you want additional fun for the kids, you could always have a face-painting booth somewhere. I'm sure the kids will love it. Have you gotten any bright ideas? I sure hope you did. Now go out there and plan a fun Halloween party that your family will surely enjoy!

How do you know that the global luxury-car market is booming? Here's one way: When BMW (NASDAQOTH: BAMXF ) doesn't think its big and opulent 7 Series sedans are big and opulent enough to serve as the top of its luxury-car lineup anymore. BMW took the wraps off of the car you see above in Beijing on Sunday. Officially, it's just a concept, but it's widely believed to be a preview of an upcoming super-BMW sedan called the 9 Series. It's new territory for the German luxury-car maker. BMW owns the Rolls-Royce brand, but it has never tried to move into this level of the market -- a step up from its already-expensive 7 Series -- with a BMW-brand sedan. Why does BMW want a 9 Series?

Because it could make a lot of money. Luxury vehicles of all kinds have seen big sales growth since the recession, outpacing mainstream vehicle sales growth in many parts of the world -- including Europe, the U.S., and China. And the outlook continues to be bright. A lot of that growth has happened at the lower end of the market. But there has also been growth at the high end, as newly wealthy people in places like China look for increasingly different, increasingly exclusive offerings. Naturally, BMW and Mercedes would like to hold on to those customers -- or at least, to create their own extra-premium models to try to bridge the gap (and collect the extra-premium profits). BMW's concept car features an exceptionally plush interior. BMW surely has data suggesting that there's a good-sized market in that lofty neighborhood. And it knows full well that a model at that price tier could be a very profitable offering, at least on a per-sale basis.

It's hard to say. Profit margins on specific vehicle models are closely guarded secrets, at BMW or at any other automaker. But it's well known that profit margins on luxury vehicles are higher than those on mass-market cars -- and as you move further upmarket, those profits can get very big. Consider this example from one of BMW's key rivals. Volkswagen Group (NASDAQOTH: VLKAY ) builds and sells vehicles under a bunch of different brands, but in terms of profits, its big three brands are VW, Audi, and Porsche. 675) per vehicle sold. 22,150) for every vehicle it sold. So it's reasonable to think that BMW could price a 9 Series in a way that would deliver it substantial profits on each sale. So what is this thing? For now it's just a concept, and it has a concept-car name: "BMW Future Vision Luxury". That is to say, one stage beyond the 7 Series.
