#319 of 441 Base models [merc1] by scott1256 Mar 06, 2006 (8:30 am)
Replying to: merc1 (Feb 28, 2006 9:22 pm) Thanks for the sales figures on the W140 S320.   I believe the former 300 SL sold very well too while it was offered.   For at least a few model years (1990-1993?)the 300 SL was also available with a manual transmission.

Any word on whether the E class for 2007 to be introduced in July will have the new V-8? More importantly for me is will it be available at intro in the 4-Matic Wagon?

Replying to: scott1256 (Mar 06, 2006 8:30 am) Talk about a rare car, the R129 300SL/SL320. From 1990-1997 I think I may have seen about 7. Yes some were sold with a manual tranny, an ever rarer specimen. The introduction of the SLK in 1997 killed the SL320 in our market.   M Replies to this message: ecorra (Mar 17, 2006 11:22 am) merc1 (Mar 18, 2006 5:50 am)

Replying to: rockypaul (Mar 06, 2006 9:33 am) All of that should be revealed at the New York auto show next month. The face-lifted E is supposed to be shown then. An E550 sedan and wagon are a given though! Since the current E500 wagon comes in 4Matic guise only I can't see why the new E550 wagon wouldn't. What I'm waiting to see if MBUSA will do the smart thing and bring over the E320CDI with optional 4Matic. A E320CDI Wagon available with 4Matic would be very smart IMO.   M Replies to this message: rockypaul (Mar 07, 2006 11:13 am) scott1256 (Mar 08, 2006 6:35 am) once_for_all (Mar 08, 2006 1:47 pm)

Replying to: merc1 (Mar 06, 2006 12:55 pm) I don't know... Diesel is way more per gallon than premium gasoline here. The 34-36 mpg on the road diesel vs. my known gas v-8 real world mpg always over 20 and up to 28 road mpg makes me still hesitant on number 2 oil.   Also, I have many road miles and gas guzzeler tax receipts that I find have not held up to the light in my real world driving. My mpg has always far exceded the EPA combined. Replies to this message: scott1256 (Mar 08, 2006 6:35 am) once_for_all (Mar 08, 2006 1:47 pm)
#325 of 441 Diesel: good point [rockypaul] by scott1256 Mar 08, 2006 (6:35 am)
Replying to: rockypaul (Mar 07, 2006 11:13 am) Diesel fuel has been as much as 50% more expensive than unleaded over the last year.   This makes diesel cars a questionable value considering the high initial cost of a compression ignition engine.

Replying to: scott1256 (Mar 08, 2006 6:35 am) right now, diesel is less than premium here (Fresno, California).   John

#328 of 441 2007 E-Class.... by merc1 Mar 10, 2006 (5:49 am)
The 2007 E-Class looks like it will be shown at the New York Auto Show next month.     Article   The article mentions the no-brainer E500 (our E550) getting the new 5.5L V8 from the S550, but it also says the E350 gets a "slight" power increase.   M
