Sorry, but I gotta disagree with you on that one. The 300TD will cruise effortlessly at over 75-80 mph, while remaining more quiet, more comfortable, and likely to get better fuel economy than the 240D.

The 240D cruises best at under 65 mph. Even then, its louder and would probably slow down with every freeway undulation. Fuel economy suffers big time at speeds over 65 mph...not like any other Benz.
