Currently drive a Benz Bluetec Diesel. Best car I’ve ever driven hands down. Sips fuel at 8L/100km. Pulls 4500lb trailer. Fuel economy jumps to 13L/100km. That’s better than most Big3 Trucks WITHOUT a trailer. Goes fast, really fast. (400ft/lbs torque) Is Safe, luxurious and beautiful.
Hard to believe MB stopped exporting diesels to North American market. Heard they were about to have the same “problem” as VW so they quietly pulled all diesels. Seems a shame. NA is the outlier here though. Diesel is EVERYWHERE in the world, especially Europe.
