Interesting diesel hybrid
 

I am just sharing interesting link I found accidentally. This Beemer will be available in 3 years, 3-cyl diesel hybrid. I wonder if MB is working on diesel hybrids as well.

Wow... that's stunning - I'd love to have one of these... :) Maybe in another life...

The body certainly is, well, busy, compared to my simple W123. I did not see any mention of price in the article. With the way the doors open, I am sure there is some pretty sophisticated and expensive structural magic going on.

So far MB has decided not to mfg.-send one to the U.S.

Here's what's for sale now in the U.S.:

With that car it's gonna be dealer this and dealer that, just like with any car bought in the last 7 years or so...
