Mercedes S-Class production increased to meet demand

Mercedes has revealed it’s having to increase production at its plant in Sindelfingen by prolonging shifts by 74 minutes (after increasing them by 30 minutes earlier this year) in order to churn out enough S-Class cars to meet strong demand. But it’s not just the S-Class (as well as the A-Class cars) that are selling strongly, Mercedes are also upping production at Bremen to build more GLK and C-Class models.

New Nissan Juke revealed: Geneva Motor Show

New personalisation options come in to play for the Juke too, with three levels offering coloured splashes to the front and rear bumpers, alloys and cabin, all of which can be retro-fitted in case subsequent owners aren’t thrilled with how it looks.
