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.

Doc,
May I respectfully suggest you sell the 380, and find a 1990=ish 560... If a sedan is not necessary, a 1991 560 SEC. very classy ride, and you will not worry about powering up the hills anymore.
