Earth day has passed us on April 22, but that does not mean we have to stop celebrating the Earth we live on! By changing a few simple habits, you can help save our planet. According to CarCare News Service, the Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) recommends regular vehicle maintenance and better driving habits as two easy-to-implement strategies. Two examples would be to: Keep the engine running at peak performance. A misfiring spark plug can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent. Replace filters and fluids as recommended in the owner’s manual. Don’t ignore that ‘Service Engine’ light. Today’s vehicles have much cleaner tailpipe emissions that they did 30 years ago, but a poorly running engine or faulty exhaust system will cause your vehicle to pollute much more than it would otherwise.

The new A 35 sedan will be Mercedes-AMG's lowest priced AMG model! It has a turbocharged inline-four with 302 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, a seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission, and a variable all-wheel-drive system. There are five driving modes; of them, the Sport+ and Slippery modes are new to the AMG. Sport+, as the name implies, increases responsiveness for maximum performance, while Slippery is for enhanced stability, implementing a flat torque curve, smoother responses, and reduced power. The A 35 has a different suspension setup than the regular A-class with optional adjustable dampers, a specially tuned variable-ratio steering rack, and larger vented disc brakes (four-piston calipers with 13.8-inch discs in front, single-piston calipers with 13.0-inch discs in back). It also gets the AMG Dynamics system that debuted on the updated C63, which is enhanced stability control and brake-based torque-vectoring system that works in conjunction with the driving modes. AMG CEO Tobias Moers says the A 35 will appeal to new kinds of customers and serve as "an entry point into the world of AMG." Pricing hasn't been announced, The A 35 sedan will be quickly followed by a CLA 35—yes, there will be nearly identical AMG versions of the A-class and the CLA —as well as a GLA 35 once the next-gen version of the standard GLA debuts. The existence of these new lower-tier four-cylinder compact AMGs leaves room for the upcoming A 45, CLA 45, and GLA 45 to get even crazier: The range-topping A 45 S will get over 415 horsepower from a 2.0-liter turbo four and an advanced all-wheel-drive system with a rear-drive Drift mode. The U.S.-bound A 35 sedan has now been revealed ahead of its in-person debut at the New York auto show this April, and as we expected, it's basically identical to its hatchback sibling.
