Mercedes US/UK was recalling more than 100,000 Mercedes-Benz vehicles in the United States and the United Kingdom to prevent a loss of power steering fluid. The NHTSA said in a posting to its website Monday that the recall involved Mercedes-Benz C-Class vehicles from the 2010 model year and Mercedes-Benz E-Class vehicles from the 2010-2011 model years.

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake edition is expected to be displayed at this year’s Beijing Auto Show. The concept unveiled by Mercedes at the Geneva Motor Show, and named F800 Style, proves to be an important page in the German automaker’s history. After talking about the influences that the concept will have on future small or compact class models and that it anticipates the new generation of the CLS model, it seems that the concept will also influence another Mercedes product.
