Click on all images to enlargeHow often have you noticed a burnt-out third brake light of the car in front of you? Or a pair or even all brake lights not functioning at all? More often than can be imagined right? So imagine the gall of the parliamentary lawmakers wanting to amend the Malaysian Road Transport Act 1987 to slap a maximum fine of RM1000 for road traffic offences currently capped at

2009/10 Mercedes-Benz (W212) E-Class undisguised!

Spotted over at paultan.org are a few of the latest leaked images of the upcoming 2009/10 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, a full replacement model due for next year's Geneva debut. At the front (in E500 guise) , it appeared decently refreshed and stately - as an E-Class should rightfully be - though somewhat Lexus GS300-ish, if not for the trademark Benz grille.The side profile cuts a swage line to be in

2009 W212 'real' E-Class picture by Autozeitung

The image that you see above - of the new W212 E-Class by German auto mag Autozeitung - is likely as close to the real thing as possible - for now. Due for debut at Geneva Motor Show in 2009, the all-new E-Class is looking grown-up with more presence, somewhat reminiscent of the 1990s W140 S-Class (check out at the rear door window span!).

Road Test: Mercedes-Benz E280 AMG Sports

Spied: Mercedes-Benz W212 E-Class

By Dr Long The successor to the current W211 E-Class isn't expected to make its official public appearance until the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show.
