I think it was Automobile magazine that had the review. Actually all the top magazines run the same articles on the same cars. It was also printed in the lates edition of the MBCA's club magazine, The Star. What they did is drive a European spec. 2003 E-class CDI. The 2004 E-Class CDI that they are bringing here, uses the same engine. Even thought these are still turbo-diesels, they are called CDIs. It stands for Common rail Diesel Injection.
