A couple of days back, I found out that Benz launched its own magazine at an event in Mumbai. Does anyone have any details about it like when & where it will be available, & what kind of material it will include?

Is it going to be the Topgear and ACI sort of magazine, or something like the newsletters published by some car manufacturers? Anyway, can't wait to get my hands on one!

@350Z Thanks for the info. I'm definitely looking forward to this one.

@AMG I believe it's available only to their customers to begin with. I actually called up one of their centres to find out. Maybe later on it will be for other car enthusiasts.
