The Acadia's profile is sleek and aerodynamic and its design is showcased by polished aluminum roof rails, large prominent headlights that use projector beam technology, distinctive LED taillights and a rear spoiler. With interior space of larger SUVs, the Acadia has a host of safety features that include six standard airbags and a standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with rollover mitigation technology.

Mercedes-Benz introduced cars at both end of the spectrum at this year's New York Auto Show. Most important for the company is the North American debut of the all-new C-Class. Longer and wider than its predecessor, the 2008 C-Class offers a roomier interior with an increased level of safety and luxury accoutrements. A revised suspension and steering help make the new C-Class more agile and fun to drive. A host of new features can be found on the new C-Class, including a power sunroof, eight-way power front seats with lumbar support, two-zone automatic climate control, 17-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth connectivity and a central controller with a seven-inch display screen.
