 | Re: Mercedes S420 CDI launched Those speed numbers are really awesome when you think about it! for Diesels?!! my God.. I remember the speed figures for the 1995 V12 powered S600, 6.5sec from 0-60mph and that car had like 394hp. Now we have V8 diesels that can keep up with your grand pa s` 1995 S600. Diesels have really come a long way!  |

 | Re: Mercedes S420 CDI launched Yep, diesels are sharp!  Eg. Audi Q7 6.0L V12 TDI with 500HP / 1000Nm, 0-100km/h in 5.5sec, v max = 250km/h (limited)! Now imagine this engine in A8. Or ... MB E420 CDI 4.0L V8 with 314HP / 730Nm, 0-100km/h in 6.1sec, v max = 250km/h max (limited)! Or ... BMW 535d 3.0L I6 variable-twin-turbo with 272HP / 760Nm (soon 286HP, 780Nm), 0-100km/h in 6.5sec, v max = 250km/h (limited!) Or ... BMW 335d 3.0L I6 VTT with 286HP / 780Nm, 0-100 km/h in 6.2sec (coupe in 6.1sec), v max = 250km/h limited. Or ... etc |

| Re: Mercedes S420 CDI launched Diesels really have come a long way. That's the reason my dad is thinking of getting a diesel as our next family car. We're generally happy with the E320's gas mileage, but an E280 CDI or E320 CDI will just kill the E320 in terms of fuel eocnomy - and performance too, especially the E320 CDI. The car will have to be used though, since a new car depreciates so heavily in its first year. |

| Re: Mercedes S420 CDI launched The E-Class V6-Diesel's are really great! Our E-Class Diesel (which is driven 80% on Autobahn) has an average consumption of 9.5 Litre / 100 km! |

| Re: Mercedes S420 CDI launched E 280 CDI (140kw) with 6 speed manual and Sportpackage! It is a pleasure to drive. The engine is extremely smooth and quiet. You know that, because you also drove one!  In my opinion the E 270 CDI only had 5 Cylinders? Last edited by ree; 12-09-2006 at 05:23 AM. |

That's quite rare, an E-Class with a manual transmission. That means you'll have a hard time when you want to sell it. Most buyers expect an automatic, even in Europe. I did drive the E280 CDI and I loved it. I don't need an E320 CDI the way that thing performed. The old E270 CDI had a 5-cylinder inline engine with 170-hp at first and later 177-hp. | |
