LOL that thing would be such a slug. But it is cool never less. The only problem I could see is would not pass emissions in area that test gas powered autos like Atlanta. They go by the VIN number and conversions must pass the same as what the factory had in it. That would be funny seeing the smog tech open the hood to put his sensor on the number 1 spark plug wire. oops

That CCV hose was a piece of work
 33-35mpg and 110mph? Doesn't sound possible with the aerodynamics. Do the 300SD's even produce those sorts of numbers? The 3.5L gas engine was...210hp? Half that power would put it in 240d acceleration territory.

The guy says "you can drive this SUV anywhere." Yeah, at what, 15mph? Thanks, but I've already got a golf cart. That thing must be an absolute slug!
