Walters Mercedes of Riverside has always been my only choice to purchase or lease my dream car. This year Vincent Troncoso was truly my Santa Claus, I never believed in Santa Until Vincent Troncoso made a wish come true! Words could never describe the extra mile he went to make another dream come true for me! What a gift to CHERISH a brand new 2013 Mercedes Benz, all SMILES...Thanks to you

Vince was very helpful. He got us a very good deal and did a very fast transaction. Our car and all the documents were ready when we got there. Thank you for a great job.

In the past I have bought Jaguars, Cadillac, BMW. This is my first Mercedes - a C class. It's the best riding car I have ever owned/driven. Vincent was a huge help - I just couldn't decide on the color or what options I wanted. With his guidance, I finally decided and am so pleased now. I am sure I will drive other cars in the future, but for now, this C class doesn't compare - the gas mileage, style and smoothness of the ride are incredible!

Bought my last Mercedes (A C class) in Orange County. As convenient as it was to buy near home, the experience I had at that dealership doesn't compare to walters. I made an appointment with vincent'z assistannt and even cancelled once. when our schedules finanly overlapped, vincent met with me and I traded in my c class for a glk. I wanted to wait for the new body style, but decided to go with 2012. I was treatedd liek royalty! Vincent was icnredible!

My husband and I turned are leased vehicles in Dec. 2012 and my vehicle still had 7 more months to go on the lease agreement. Walter's has never let us down and they work very hard to retain our business. I would never go any place else. Becky & Rick are excellent sales associates and worked extremely hard to get the Deal both my husband and I wanted in order to drive two New Mercedes off their lot that day. I highly recommend Walters and our sales associates Becky and Rick to everyone,very professional to work with. OH! I cannot forget Steve the Sales Manager and the finance manager they were also great to work with. Thank you again. Sincerely, Jim & Nancy G.

Searched all over for a GL with the right color and options. Got an e-mail from Vincent Troncoso with the GL option list. It was as closed as possible to what I wanted. Vincent e-mail me the price and I had other discounts being MBUSA club member. He said there was no problem. I confirmed the price on Friday and saw the GL on Sunday and closed the deal and drove home that morning. No hassle. Price e-mail was honored with the member discount. Vincent was a pleasure to deal with. He knew his MB well. He was honest and upfront.

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-class Photos Posted Early

Visit WaltsMB.com to find your Mercedes-Benz today!

Mercedes-Benz has high hopes for its upcoming compact CLA sedan. Based on the brand’s new front-wheel-drive platform, it is a close relative of the third-generation A-class. The CLA’s looks aren’t a huge surprise, as it was previewed by the Concept Style Coupé, our spy photographers snapped a few shots of an undisguised CLA earlier in the year, and AMG posted pictures on its Facebook page of a camouflaged CLA45 AMG earlier this month. But here is the real thing after these photos hit AutoMonthly—and judging from the style of the photographs, we believe these are not press shots but photos from a sales brochure for the upcoming model. 

Mercedes is taking a gamble with the expressive design of the CLA. To get some perspective, we got on the phone with Gernot Bracht, who teaches transportation design in Pforzheim, Germany. His opinion of the compact four-door is that it represents a design language in Germany that’s become somewhat ambiguous.

“The CLA is clearly informed by Asian tastes, and it symbolizes yet another departure from the traditionally purist German approach to design,” he says. “But this is becoming a trend, and in a way the CLA reminds me of Opel’s approach with the new Adam.” His conclusion: “Definitely not a typical Mercedes-Benz.”

But perhaps that’s exactly what Mercedes has tried to achieve, considering the CLA marks an aggressive move downmarket. In the U.S., the model targets a younger crowd than does the current lineup. As to what’s below the skin, we’ll have to wait for official information until mid-January. We already know that the CLA will be offered with 1.6- and 2.0-liter gasoline engines, as well as 1.8-liter and 2.1-liter diesel engines, all of them turbocharged and covering a wide power and performance range; we’re not likely to see anything but the 2.0-liter and possibly the 2.1-liter diesel in the U.S. There could be an entry-level model using a Renault-sourced 1.5-liter turbo-diesel, and then there is the CLA45 AMG with around 350 hp. All-wheel drive will be standard on the AMG version and optional on select other models.

More information on Benz’s CLA should become available in the coming weeks as the car’s as-yet-unannounced debut date looms.

I was introduced to Vincent Troncoso at Walters MB by my brother as I was looking for a GL. I searched all the dealers in Southern CA and Walters had the color and options I wanted. I e-mailed Vincent and he e-mailed me the GL details and gave me a price on Friday and we picked the GL up on Sunday. It was a pleasure to deal with Vincent who was knowledgeable about the cars, honest, upfront and kept his word about the price. There was no run around or bate and switch. It made the auto buying experience a pleasure.

The most stress free, pleasurable experience I've ever had leasing a car. From start to finish, Vincent Troncoso and the Walter's staff treated me with respect and professionalism. The process was, fast, efficient and made me feel cared about as a customer. I love my new Mercedes E350. It is exactly what I was looking for and they gave me the lowest deal of 5 other dealers with whom I priced the car. I recommend Vincent and Walter's extremely highly and definitely would do business with them again.

Vincent Troncoso helped me get into my first Mercedes. I walked into Walters not really knowing if I was going to purchase a car. I drove out with my first Mercedes. I highly recommend Vincent if you are looking to purchase a Mercedes.

I just recently bought a C250 from Walter's Mercedes-Benz. I am very proud of the service given. Vincent did a good job helping me out with finding the right car for me. Will definitely recommend others to him. The process of all the paperwork and finishing up took an hour or two and left with the car I wanted. He walked me through the steps for everything and introduced me to better offers in the future.

New 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class revealed

Visit WaltsMB.com to find your Mercedes-Benz today!

After four years in its present incarnation Mercedes-Benz has announced the new 2014 model year E-Class. Beloved of Chinese businessmen, Turkish cab drivers, Eurocrats and the discrete middle-classes the world over, the E-Class embodies Mercedes-Benz' brand values – comfort, practicality, technology, affordable luxury with a hint of sportiness, plus of course styling that suggests aspirations to higher levels of grandeur. For the 2014 model the exterior is a subtle break with the past whilst the underlying technology is a showcase for the future.

This is a conservative market sector and any changes must be sensitively applied. At first glance the vehicle looks to be no different but there are a number of significant changes. The standard “Luxury” version wears a familiar grill but the shape has been altered with the addition of sharper corners and a slightly more pronounced snout, in common with the rest of the range. For the “Sport” version an entirely new grill is fitted with an integral three-pointed star that mimics the SL and SLS sports cars.

The traditional double headlights have finally fused into one lens and there is a more pronounced front lip spoiler at the front. Full LED lights are available and the annoying always-on running lights persist. The Sport version gets the front splitter and rounded air intake treatment while an AMG styling pack is available for the full angular race car front end.

Along the side the stylized ‘Ponton’ wheel arch, that evoked cars of the fifties, has gone, to be replaced by a modern signature “slash” as seen on the new A and B classes. The side sill line has been lowered and the combined effect is to make vehicle look a little longer and less dumpy in the rear three-quarters. The Station Wagon body style in particular benefits from this change.

The rear of the vehicle was always an excellent form and the changes are simple tweaks to make it look a little wider.

The interior architecture will be home-from-home familiar to anybody who has been in a Mercedes in the past few years but there has been a little tidying in places plus the addition of additional trim pieces to harmonize and raise the perceived luxury to S-Class levels.

While the visual tweaks inside and out have been relatively subtle, the E-Class carries eleven newly-developed driver aid technologies under the banner of “Intelligent Drive.” The basis for all this is new state-of-the-art sensors and their associated algorithms. Mercedes-Benz has introduced the Stereo Multi-Purpose Camera which is located on the windshield near the rear-view mirror. This camera features two “eyes,” set at an angle of 45 degrees to produce a three-dimensional view of the area up to 55 yards (50 meters) in front of the vehicle and with an overall range of up to 550 yards (503 meters). The stereo camera gathers data for processing by various systems. They can detect vehicles driving in front, oncoming or crossing and evaluate this three-dimensional visual information to determine their speed and position. They can also identify pedestrians within a large field of vision.

Along with the Stereo Multi-Purpose Camera, Mercedes-Benz is also introducing a new version of the Multi-Mode Radar sensor system. COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST, a radar-based collision warning system with Adaptive Brake Assist is standard equipment on both the sedan and wagon. It helps to reduce significantly the risk of a rear-end collision. Also part of standard equipment is ATTENTION ASSIST, which now warns of inattentiveness and drowsiness across a wider range, and provides visual information on attention level and time driven since the last break.

Also available are a number of assistance systems that are either new or now feature significantly enhanced functionality:

• DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist can help the driver keep the vehicle centered in its lane and can semi-autonomously follow in-line traffic
• For the first time, the Brake Assist system BAS PLUS with Cross-Traffic Assist is able to detect crossing traffic and pedestrians, and boost the braking power applied by the driver accordingly
• The PRE-SAFE Brake can now detect pedestrians as well and initiate autonomous braking
• PRE-SAFE PLUS can identify an imminent rear-end collision and then prompt the PRE-SAFE system to trigger occupant protection measures that reduce the forces exerted on passengers. If the vehicle is stationary, it can also prevent secondary accidents in the event of a rear-end collision by applying the brakes
• Active Lane Keeping Assist can now detect when the adjacent lane is not clear, including the presence of oncoming traffic, overtaking vehicles, crash barriers etc. Under threat of a collision, even if the lane marking is not a solid line, the system can prevent the vehicle from leaving its lane unintentionally by applying the brakes on one side. This system pairs perfectly with Active Blind Spot Assist
• Adaptive Highbeam Assist PLUS allows high beam to remain permanently switched on without dazzling traffic by masking out other vehicles in the beams' cone of light
• Active Parking Assist enables automated parking with active steering and brake control in both parallel and perpendicular spaces
• The Surround View Camera will cover all four sides of the vehicle and enable a 360-degree view including virtual bird's-eye perspective; a top view of the vehicle and its immediate surroundings. Dynamic guide lines help during parking and maneuvering

The following Petrol, diesel and hybrid engine models are offered plus 4-wheel drive:

• E250 BlueTEC: 2.1-liter 4-cylinder turbodiesel: 190 hp
• E350 Sedan: direct-injection 3.5-liter V6: 302 hp
• E350 4MATIC Wagon: direct-injection 3.5-liter V6: 302 hp
• E400 HYBRID Sedan: electric motor and direct-injection 3.5-liter V6: 27 hp + 302 hp
• E550 4MATIC Sport Sedan: turbocharged direct-injection 5.5-liter V8: 402 hp.

Vehicles are on sale in early 2013. Prices will be announced at the Detroit auto show in January when the AMG E63 version will also be unveiled.

Recommend this dealer? Yes Purchased a vehicle from this dealer? Yes Vincent is awesome. I spent about 5 emails with him and I am ready to go in to get my car. He is able to give me a very very competitive deal that other dealerships will not be able to do. So are the assistant team Shannon and Cecelia. Both are very kind and helpful to send information I need and got a call right away to make sure I am happy about my car purchase. Definitely I will come back again for my next purchase or lease.

Walked in on a Sunday afternoon around 2pm, was approached by a salesman name Arash, he gave us a few test drives, well more than a few until the wife found the correct vehicle for her. I wanted the E Class, she wanted the C Class, we got the C Class. We were in and out of finance very quickly and Arash Himmat was great with the purchase and there was no pressure from anyone. Got the car we wanted, how we wanted and the price we wanted. Awesome Awesome Salesman... If your going to buy a car here make sure to ask for Arash!

My family has actually purchased 3 Mercedes from Walters MB in the past year. The internet manager, Vince Troncoso is really helpful, and offered us deals which were not matchable nearer to home --- 95 miles away! The service, and followup has been great, with no hassle whatsoever. This has been an awesome dealer to buy from. JN

I recently purchased a 2013 Mercedes C-Class Coupe from Walters and it was a great overall experience. From the moment we walked into the door, to the moment we drove off the parking lot in our new car,the service and treatment was top notch. I received exactly the car i wanted which was difficult in other dealerships as I wanted, the sport package as well as pretty much every other package, but they met and went beyond my expectations. Highly recommend

Not a usual reviewer, but my experiences here have compelled me to write my first one for these guys. Walters Mercedes has a reputation for excellent customer service, and last week was a prime example. Lupe L. was extremely patience with me while scheduling my appointment. A series of events occurred that created a challenge in regards to me getting the price I want, and my Sales Rep Charlie S. helped me find a solution that enabled it to happen. Charlie S. listened and addressed all my concerns, made sure I was comfortable with everything. Vincent T. (Internet Sales Manager) runs a business worthy of winning awards. I asked Vincent a bunch of Q's and he addressed them courteously, very sweet guy. Cecelia S., is an absolute doll. She followed up with me the next day to make sure I was happy with my GL450. She even emailed me instructions on how to set up the Garage door opener (Yes, I'm too lazy to read the manual). It's awesome to know that great customer service doesn't end when you leave. I really think the reason people are returning is because of the high level of service and a reputation for being straightforward and honest. Buying a car is a stressful and time consuming process - but I tell you, if I can work with this Internet Sales Team every time I buy a car, I'm going back every time! I know this sounds like a commercial for the dealership, but I'm still amazed at the experience I had working with them. It's an honor to be a customer of Walters Mercedes. Great dealership, great service, great people!

Bought my daugher a C250 last month. Love the color, style and good deal we got on the car. We were hoping to get our hands on a C350, but apparently they're hard to find. I am glad that we got the car that we did, because I bet we're getting better gas mileage on it. The whole process took less than 2 hours. I ended up getting the car for the price I wanted and Vincent was so helpful and walked us through the process from beginning to end with no suprises.
