I drool on the light blue CDI ever trip I make to the dealer. I go out and stick my nose to the window and drool like a hound dog becasue I know the monthly payment is way out of my league. A local architect in my hometown who has always owned Mercedes as I see them under his carport just bought one. I had a nice talk with his wife at the Post Office. She said it was a great car and would be their last except for the crappy navigation system. She said her Garmin GPS map she used before this car was more accurate and gave street names and house numbers.

You want to be impressed.. the latest record was set just on the 26th of July with 59mpg and a drive of 1000+ miles at freeway speeds. I have the '05 model with the I-6 (which I prefer anyway), but the best I could get with A/C off and 55mph was 42mpg... so I don't know how they're doing that... V6 or not.
