This year we will have the plug in prius and the miev and the tesla is already out! Keep dreaming Dr. Z (Merc boss) you’re at least 5 years behind the rest but hey lets keep playing with concepts. I actually own a merc convertible at the moment but unless they come out with a plug-in hybrid version or a all electric I won’t be upgrading. Looking at the hybrid suv 20+ mpg on non premium gas is pretty good. Would love a plug in with a range of 30+ miles. If mercedes do actually release plug-in cars it would be nice if they included LKAS from Honda (lane keep assist system)

Can you say “Toyota Matrix”. Come on, if your going to show off vaporware it might as well be something with a wilder design to generate interest.

When the A class came out - it was meant to be for a fuel cell motor to be on the streets in 2004.

Now it's a B class to be out in 2012

We wont hold our breath on this one either.

Great! What’s your plan to get past the Big Oil Lobbyist in order to get the electric car to market?

Nice to see, but please hurry.
Pictures are nice, but the world needs real action now: affordable hybrids and electric cars.
So MB, stop wasting time and money in the development of expensive fuel consuming big cars, "sport"-cars and Formula-1.
These are useless investments in historic projects.

Oooh! Concept cars! I'm wetting my pants with anticipation. So we'll see these on the roads when? 2050? 3050?

We'll have flying cars first.

Absolutely, we do not need concepts we need action. Do not give us a few pictures posture it as news.

Nice looking design.
The eCell plus seems like the most viable of the 3.
It would make good Volt competition.

Mercedes - how expensive?!?

Concept cars can be a million years from production. MB has been making gas guzzlers for too long to give these cars credibility unless they announce production schedules.
