As far as diesels go I like the european look, just the model number: 300d all by it self. I've never been a fan of "diesel", "turbo diesel", "turbo", or "2.5 trubo). It is repetitive, if you don't know what the "D" means too bad and it isn't really a good thing (not fast). 2 of my cars are euros so they only say 300d. If the blue car gets painted I'd like to debadge it, it makes the rear boot much cleaner.

Anyone know why so few 123's (us-spec) were debadged? Were owners really proud about owning a diesel? Maybe it was a status thing, I dunno.
