The reason I'm questioning the V8 vs. V6 is my hill problem.

I've only had this vehicle for about 6 months.

This 380 SEL is heavy and the V8 only puts out 155 hp. I was wondering whether this is enough power to lug the five of us and the car up the mountain everyday?

My wife's Toyota Sienna puts out 255 hp. and has no problems. My Toyota Matrix puts out 188 hp and flys up the hill.

I love the MB but I'm worried that its way under powered.
