My 3 old favorites - MB, GM and British luxury brands - sure give me fits. Seems only one at a time does well. |

Replying to: merc1 (Aug 02, 2006 3:55 am) As I told you, that is the first 'new' MB coupe I remember as a tadpole. I recall very few black or navy blue MB cars (especially coupes) in the 1960s. Silver, red, tan, dark green and brown were popular. Common interiors were red, tan/cream, brown and blue.

Does anyone have numbers on the MPG of the upcoming R and GL diesels? As the E320 does so well with mpg, I'm hoping the other models do as well. However, I realize they are much heavier automobiles. I may have asked this before, but does anyone have a feel for the new pricing of the 320s? MB has a tendency to up the price for a diesel, so will that negate the better mileage?

Replying to: wopel (Aug 07, 2006 4:52 pm) The question one has to ask is: Does this difference in mileage make sense considering the inconvenience (small that it may be) of having to find diesel fuel and the difference in the initial cost of the vehicle? The cost of diesel in my area (Indiana) varies between the same as mid grade and sometimes as high as premium. |

I meant to post this a few days ago, but it appears that more AMG models are on the way:  A model I don't see the point of actually, the GL63 AMG. Running the same 475-507hp 6.2L naturally aspirated V8 as all the other recently introduced "63" cars. Then of course there is the CL63 or C65 AMG:  Finally there are some really good detailed spy pics of the upcoming 2008 C-Class:       Then there is of course the C63 AMG:   M |

I know you get this request every few months, but here goes again. Can you give us another of your brief "upcoming MB model" summaries? It's nice to see everything in compact list form. Thanks in advance!
