Ferrari Accessories and Parts Superstore Just Announced

After recently looking for some Ferrari parts and accessories, I found a www.ferrariaccessories.com. This site is simply the best site to get anything Ferrari. I was looking for a online shop where I can save money as well as talk to a knowledgeable staff that can help me with my specific Ferrari questions. I was mostly looking for Ferrari exhaust systems.

The store carries all of the parts that I am interested in, parts like Carbon Fiber interior pieces, challenge grills, Ferrari wheels, Ferrari exhaust systems, and exterior body modifications. I like that fact that I can modify and update my Ferrari - as it is almost impossible to find parts for any Ferrari.

I called the Ferrari Accessories store to ask them a couple of questions about their Ferrari parts and I was really surprised to find that out that they really knew their stuff and that they were very willing to help. Overall I would recommend them for anyone who is looking for Ferrari wheels, Ferrari accessories, Ferrari Carbon Fiber, or Ferrari exhaust systems.

2010 Mercedes-Benz E-class Coupe

The outgoing Mercedes Benz CLK has been in production for 12 years and has sold 460,000 units over two generations.

The two-door coupe will be all-new and based on a modified version of the recently redone E-Class sedan. The previous generations were built on modified C-class platforms. Mercedes is hoping to take the new E-class coupe further upmarket to leave room for a lower end C-class coupe.

The new E-class coupe has strayed away from the traditional Benz look to incorporate a very prominent grille, twin headlamps, a clamshell hood, and frame-less doors. The exterior is 1.8 inches longer and wider while being an inch lower the the outgoing CLK. Mercedes is also releasing a E-class convertible in 2010.

Inside, the E-class coupe has a dash layout similar to the E-class sedan with a regard to confirming Mercedes's quality standards and building materials. It is indeed impressive.
