My '82 300D rides softer than our 2006 Jetta TDI.

The TDI get double the fuel mileage, has colder A/C, a working cruise control, and handles the turns with very little body lean.

Now, the MB has tons more character, easier to work on, less expensive maintenance, and it's paid for.

My wife drives the TDI. She likes my MB.

The question is this, what will the TDI look like in 27 years? My guess is the same as all the other new cars...You open it with a can opener or a pop top.
