We've just driven Mercedes-Benz's important new eco-specialist C-class: the – take a deep breath – C250 CDI Blue Efficiency Prime Edition. Putting the Transformers jokes to one side for a second,...

The Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package costs £3210 and promises to turn the four-door saloon from Affalterbach into an M3 beater. For your money you get uprated brakes and suspension, a limited slip...
