I'm wondering if this new MB diesel is the beginning of the return of good Mercedes automobiles or will is be yet another new model that hankers to be in the dealer's service bay every few weeks. The 123 is so simple that serious problems are cropping up now, 20 yrs down the road, how long will a CDI run without having to go to the doctor.
I just hope that when this new CDI is 10 years old, about when I can afford it, that it will be the new icon of diesel performance and reliability that the 123, 124 and 126's are today.
