Mercedes-Benz has just released photos of its new S-Class (right). The marque says it features the debut of brake assist PLUS, night view assist, infra-red headlamps and the second generation of pre-safe. The new S-Class' four models are due to be launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, with a Hong Kong unveiling the next quarter. The new S-Class' prices are still unknown, but the new BMW 750Li ($1.36 million) is one to beat in the managing directorial bracket.

The Peugeot 307 CC Special Edition is being offered in the marque's new Babylone Red (right) or Slate Green, for $319,800 this weekend. Calvin Lam of Peugeot Dealers AutoFrance (tel: 3118 1828) says the model has more oomph than the standard cabriolet. 'The engine output of the 307 CC is now raised to 143 brake-horsepower without changing the 1997cc capacity,' Lam says. 'We've also upgraded to the 10-speaker JBL hi-fi system.' The price is the same as the standard car, but 'only 10 units are available for Hong Kong buyers'.
