Jessica Simpson Goes the Mercedes ML350 Way in Aspen

It's always nice to see Jessica Simpson around and, although not many of us actually have this chance, we're glad to see her starring in our VIP news section thanks to the ride he chose to use these days. Jessica Simpson and her fiancee were seen in Aspen near a black Mercedes-Benz ML350 and, although the car most likely doesn't belong to them, it's surely an excellent choice to move around.

As we've said it so many times, Mercedes-Benz is becoming a more popular choice among Hollywood stars, be them actors, singers, models or just VIPs who make the front page of newspapers every once in a while. Not only because the German brand is popular in the United States, but also because it builds some of the best cars in the world.

Not to mention fuel efficiency, power and design. In other words, celebrities who want to look good in front of the camera forget about fancy and ultra expensive rides such as Lamborghini or Rolls Royce and go for a friendlier Mercedes-Benz. Jessica Simpson opted for an SUV, a ML in this case, that's more than appropriate for the current snowy roads in Aspen.

And to give you a little insight on the ML, the engine fitted on the version in the image is the 3.5-liter V8 gasoline that produces a maximum power of 272 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 350 Nm of torque between 2400 and 5000 rpm. Performance figures are more than decent, with the SUV going from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 8.4 seconds, while topping at 139.8 mph (225 km/h).
