The '''Jaguar XF''' is an all-new sport sedan which replaces the [[Jaguar S-Type|S-Type]]. Although it is a mid-size luxury car which competes with the likes of the [[Mercedes-Benz E-Class]], [[BMW 5 Series]] and [[Audi A6]], it significantly moves [[Jaguar]] upmarket with prices ranging between $68,000 to $110,000, more than stepping into its older brother, the [[Jaguar XJ]]'s, territory. The new car will be developed in Coventry and will be built in Castle Bromwich, Birmingham, U.K. <small>([[Jaguar XF|more...]])</small>
The '''Mercedes-Benz C-Class''' is a line of entry-level [[compact luxury sedan]] [[automobile]]s produced by [[Mercedes-Benz]]. The C-Class was first introduced in 1993 as a replacement for the 190 range. It was the most affordable model in the Mercedes lineup until the arrival of the A-Class in 1998. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is built at Mercedes-Benz factories in the German towns of Sindelfingen and Bremen. The very first C-Class sedan was produced on June 1, 1993 and the second generation C-Class rolled off the assembly line on July 18, 2000. The third generation (W204) has been available for sale since early 2007 as a 2008 year model <small>([[Mercedes-Benz C-Class|more...]])</small>
