My GLK diesel and Metris are so awesome I haven't really missed the older ones.

Good point - I live in Toronto and we get snow, sold for about 4-5 months out of the year. To avoid the body rotting or rust starting, I bring it to Krown (oil spray) once or twice a year and wash the car at the self/wash places with high pressure hoses once a week. I keep the salt off and oil on the metal. I don't have a spec of rust.

I love driving this old diesel in the snow and cold with 4 winter tires.
