Getting Ready: Your New Blood Donor Checklist

You can use a nearby blood drive at work, at school or in your community, or schedule a visit that fits perfectly into your day. Your comfort comes first, and if convenience helps you feel calm, online tools like the Be The 1 donor website can help you find a location that works for you.

This upcoming model promises to combine the unmistakable G-Class silhouette with the pure joy of open-air driving, creating a luxury off-roader that feels equally at home cruising city streets or climbing into the mountains.

A New Chapter for an Off-Road Icon

For decades, the G-Class has been known for its boxy design, solid stance and go-anywhere attitude. Now, Mercedes-Benz is taking that formula and literally opening it up. Following an extremely positive reaction to the first teaser, the brand is sending camouflaged prototypes of the open-top G-Class into the world for rigorous testing.

A Las Vegas Stunt That Feels Like a Movie Scene

For this launch moment, Mercedes-AMG swapped the usual motor show stage for the buzzing streets of Las Vegas. The scene is simple and cinematic: Brad Pitt waits for his car at a valet stand, only to discover that his “valet” is actually Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team star George Russell.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 8, 2025 – Mercedes-Benz is giving fans a first real peek at the all-new GLB ahead of its world premiere on December 8, 2025, and the message is clear: this compact SUV wants to feel like a warm, confident refuge even when winter is at its worst. Before it steps into the spotlight, engineers are pushing the new GLB through intense cold-weather testing at the Mercedes Technology Center in Sindelfingen, using high-tech climatic wind tunnels that can mimic deep-freeze temperatures and brutal blizzard conditions.

Winter Confidence Starts with Realistic Extremes

Cold weather can expose weaknesses quickly—traction, visibility, cabin comfort, even small things like air inlets and wiper performance. That’s why Mercedes-Benz is running the all-new GLB through controlled tests that simulate conditions as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit, plus high-speed snowstorms where flakes can hit the vehicle at up to 124 mph.

The special showrun during the Super Taikyu season finale wasn’t just about noise and speed; it was about “cultural exchange between the U.S. and Japan through motorsports” and a new chapter in the relationship between the two car-loving nations.

NASCAR thunder over Mount Fuji

On November 16, day two of the Super Taikyu finale in Shizuoka Prefecture, six NASCAR machines shipped over from the United States took to the track. Behind the wheel were top drivers from both countries, including Kamui Kobayashi, trading their usual machinery for the raw, big-hearted character that makes American stock cars so addictive to watch.

A premium SUV reimagined for different abilities

Tonale for All takes all the character of a modern Alfa Romeo – design flair, comfort and technology – and layers in thoughtful adaptations you don’t see at first glance. Instead of feeling like an “afterthought conversion,” the changes are integrated into the car with the same level of care as its original interior.

A record built on solidarity, not spectacle

The recognition, presented by Guinness adjudicator Camila Borenstain in the low-income community of Paraisópolis in southern São Paulo, celebrates much more than a one-day feat. It crowns years of public policy aimed at guaranteeing dignified, continuous access to food for residents across the city.
