Also in this episode: GM names Robert Ferguson its "vice president of global Cadillac," Toyota turns to the Home Shopping Network to sell cars, and race-car constructor Lola succumbs to its financial troubles. -- Cadillac gets a new boss. -- Toyota hawks hybrids on HSN. -- Mercedes builds a near-perfect SLS. --And another storied car-builder goes under. I'm Rory, it's Wednesday, let's do news: GM has appointed its top lobbyist, Robert Ferguson, to a newly created and confusingly named position, vice president of global Cadillac. Ferguson will focus on Cadillac marketing, advertising and improving the Cadillac customer experience. He called the new job a challenge, but compared to working in politics, this should be a walk in the park. More on Ferguson: www.autoweek.com When you think of the Home Shopping Network, what comes to mind? Yeah, I had to look it up too. Apparently it's a whole network where celebrities get tuned up and sell fragrance lines, clothing and appliances that they've supposedly endorsed. Apparently Toyota thought they might be able to offload some of their appliances—I mean hybrids--on cable too because they recently trotted their entire line-up of very exciting transport modules before HSN viewers. It wouldn't be "as seen on TV" if there wasn't a special offer, so Toyota gave away $1000 HSN gift cards or $1000 gas cards to those who acted fast. The company also gave away prizes and invited viewers to play games during the broadcast. Some viewers even <b>...</b>Author: AutoweekUSA

A lap of the Euro Speedway Lausitz track in my Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 with its Cosworth fettled 2.3-litre four cylinder, naturally aspirated engine. To my mind, this is the perfect compact sports saloon and as a point of fact my view is shared by none other than top former Formula 1 racing driver Martin Brundle. Praise comes no higher than that!

The first generation W202 C-Class was introduced in 1993, as a replacement for the Mercedes-Benz W201 (190), and proved immensely popular, quickly becoming Mercedes-Benz's best-selling class of vehicles worldwide. Much of its popularity was accredited to the lower pricing point, when compared to other Mercedes-Benz models. The C-Class sedan was the company's entry-level model up until 1997, when Mercedes launched the A-Class supermini. Styling themes were carried over from the previous W201 series, but the new series had a smoother and rounder design than the previous generation of compact Mercedes. On its debut, the C-Class was the only Mercedes model with a complete lineup of multivalve engines. The new family of four cylinder petrol units, called M111, debuted in the C 180 (1.8 L, 122 PS (120 hp/90 kW)), C 200 (2.0 L, 136 PS (134 hp/100 kW) and C 220 (2.2 L, 150 PS (148 hp/110 kW), the only four cylinder of the range sold in the US). In 1996 the C 220 was replaced by the C 230, enlarged to 2.3 L displacement but with the same output, although with torque increased to 220 N•m (162 ft•lbf). . The top of the range was the C 280, with a four-valve-per-cylinder straight-6 engine, capable of reaching 193 PS (190 hp/142 kW). Four cylinder diesel models were equipped with the same OM601 engine of the 190, in the 2.0 L and 2.2 L versions. Many of these diesel variants were sold as taxis, due to their low fuel consumption and strong reliability. There were also more powerful <b>...</b>
