Ikcris,

ALWAYS My point, about/problem with, North American Mercedes Benz...

Excellent,Safe,Well Engineered(Well, sometimes),Economical,Enviromentally
Friendly vehicles...ANYWHERE else on Planet Earth EXCEPT North America.

The JackAsses in Montvale ALWAYS Import the Stupid Gasoline Models FIRST!

EDIT: (ReTraction) I'm always blaming the "Units" @ NAMB in Montvale for
Everything Evil...When in actual fact,They may have little say over what
comes over on the "RoRo"s. Yeah,yeah...It's All Stuttgart's Fault !
[Senate seat from Georgia, Anyone?]

'Classic "Business Model" inflexibility.

If they were to "Beat" BMW across the Atlantic by offering both of their Bluetec
Hybrid models [ "C" class and the "GLK"] they'd come out like "Roses".

The "C" Mercedes "Four Banger",with Non-Symmetrical turbos and the Electric
Hybrid Drive will leave the BMW 3 series Diesel in it's dust,both in speed and economy.

The GLK with the same Driveline will "Make a Mockery" of Both the BMW
X3 and X5s with Diesel ONLY Drivelines.
