You know what's sad? Despite all these advances in diesel technology, you still have total retards on other forums complaining about them. For example...
"My Suburban can barely do a 7 second 0-60 time and that's still slow. I can only imagine that a Benz diesel must be even slower, stinkier and louder. No thanks..."
^Incredibly stupid responses like that just piss me off...^
Worse, there are still people who believe this whole hybrid hype (*ahem* Toyota / Lexus fans). Hybrids seem to have their place in the city, where they achieve amazing fuel economy. But in mixed driving, including highways, a modern diesel seems to be even more fuel efficient - and more exciting in my experience.
