Luxury with a custom touch in a four-door coupe.
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class not only reinvented the idea of what a coupe can be, it also brought back to the luxury automobile showroom a sense of custom tailoring not really seen for more than six decades.

Wonders Await in Winnipeg
The Canadian city offers exciting attractions year-round.
Located in the province of Manitoba, Winnipeg has more than 650,000 residents and is the eighth largest city in Canada.

Sitting at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers about 60 miles north of the U.S., the city will sweep you off your feet from the moment you arrive.

Car Care: Using Genuine Replacement Parts
The right part makes all the difference.
It takes hundreds of thousands of man-hours and several years of design, engineering and testing work to bring a new car, truck, SUV or crossover to the market.

Creating the Calendar
Shifting months and years to match changing traditions.
Most school children can tell you that 30 days hath September, April, June and November, but very few people—children or adults—know why this is so. The confusing arrangement of months with varied lengths, and the special case of February with its extra day added in not-quite-every-four-years, seems like it was thrown together in very haphazard fashion. Nothing could be further from the truth, however; as strange and random as our current calendar might seem, it is the result of very careful calculation and purposeful planning.
