#322 of 441 Re: E-550 [rockypaul] by merc1 Mar 06, 2006 (12:55 pm)
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
#329 of 441 I got my Forbes by scott1256 Mar 14, 2006 (6:54 am)
magazine yesterday and there was an S class ad in it.   The Forbes ad head line says "You're not buying a car. You're buying a belief". About half the ad goes on about history, past glory, 1886 cars, etc.   Not once do they ask the reader for his/her business. Not a single mention of efforts being made to improve quality and reliablity.   The ad did not strike the right note for me. If anyone else sees it I would be interested in their take.

Replying to: scott1256 (Mar 14, 2006 6:54 am) Here's my take: Mercedes wants you to think about image. They don't want to remind you of their quality and reliability problems. Makes sense to me.

Not a single mention of efforts being made to improve quality and reliablity.   No one but GM is silly enough to put an add out saying that their quality has lapsed or needs improving. I would never expect that from Mercedes or any other luxury marque.   M
