Not a Big Prius Fan, But......

If I had to own one, I would want it to look something like this.

Your Right Your Right, Well said!!!
I will Never own a Prius. Possibly some other hybrid vehicle in my life span, but not a Prius. You have to act more smug than a old Diesel Mercedes owner to drive one

Ironic, since it's one of the few cars that can't beat up a HF tool...

Now thats what I'm talking about, I hope we get the diesel,
I hope we get a diesel C class soon also, and a Diesel GLK
BMW was smart to bring the 335d along with the bigger ones to our shores, Im sure Mercedes wont be to far behind.
Sometimes its nice to let the other guy see if it will work first
ie, 318ti, yet Benz still tried us with the C230 coupe, I think the otherguys got it more right with the 1 series, its time for Mercedes to bring us the B class

I read about the e300 diesel hybrid in Merc Enthusiast, it's performance and ability to sip fuel all while looking like a normal E Klasse is simply staggering.

No, no, no, no and still no.

The only hybrids that I will ever support to be legally run on the road are the KERS system mated to a petroleum fueled engine and a series hybrid like the Fiskar Karma.

Parallel electric hybrids can suck it, and I could care less if Mercedes made one.
