My '83 300SD was outstanding in city driving and performance in the city too. He may not know it, but his 300SD is perhaps one of the best cars money can buy for total value out there.

8 second 0-60 vs 14??? I own a few very sorted diesels, and love taking them on highway trips, but its much easier to take the E320 around town. I think you may be a little biased.
Fuel economy is always going to be better, of course.
Like I said before, if I had to choose between the two, I would keep my diesel hands down. When you tally things up its a better car overall for my needs
