Ah...Interesting. Still I submit...Whoever wrote that article is an idiot. The S350, when in good working order...With all it's sound insulation in place...And the engine well in tune....Is so quiet, you have to put your ear down to the hood to hear it purr. And power, if memory serves, is about 60 mph in 12 seconds....So about 4 seconds slower than the 2.1 liter Bluetec E-CLASS diesel, with the 4-cylinder...

...Sounds like he was driving a worn out 3.5 with a bent rod and terrible compression.
