You can't end a week much better than enjoying the fall colors through the windshield of a W186.

Take a step out of the classic world and check out the 2027 GLC400, which apparently takes inspiration for its new grill from the W111. We'll let you be the judge of that (check out our previous post to see for yourself) while Car and Driver gives us a thorough test drive.

Take a quick look at the Bosch R9/22: The foundation for future fuel injection pumps over on our most recent blog and scroll to the bottom for links to deep dives into all the models we service.

While the W198 300SL gets all the attention and is credited with bringing direct fuel injection to gasoline vehicles, those fuel injection pumps were essentially a dead end as the mechanical technology of the time just wasn't precise enough to deal with the needs of a daily driver.

Are you tempted by the temps to stick with the coupe or are you keeping the out till the cold really takes hold?
