Replying to: loyalowner (Jan 11, 2006 12:58 pm) Honestly, I am very satisfied with the current E320 CDI, except the uncontrollable defrost hot air on auto front defrost mode, I can’t find a thing that I don’t like this car; I will ask the service in M B to look into that glitch. In the meantime, I still somewhat miss the Tourareg V10 TDI which I brought back to VW for a trade for the problems plagued on the car. On the other hand, the ML diesel has been selling side by side with gas engines by MB for years to the oversea markets, and MB has the tendency to put high HP in ML-Class(I got an 02 ML55). A V8 diesel seems convenient and logical to be installed in the coming ML. A cute 3.5 Rav 4 is here with same out put as the ML350. If give me the choice…… maybe just the diesel would turn me away from Toyota!   http://autoblog.com/2006/01/08/detroit-auto-show-mercedes-benz-launches-clean-di- esels-for-the/ Replies to this message: loyalowner (Jan 13, 2006 11:32 am) cctdi (Jan 13, 2006 4:40 pm)

Replying to: loyalowner (Jan 11, 2006 12:58 pm) Mercedes has solved the problems with trying to fit 4Matic with a diesel by adopting the V convfiguration. The new 3.0L V6 CDI engine is actually a little more powerful than the current I6. The new V6 will be fitted to the 2007 E320/R320/ML320 and eventually GL320 starting this fall.   There is also a new (well revised) V8 CDI in Europe also. It is a 4.0L with 311hp. The only way I can see the U.S. getting this engine in the S-Class (S420 CDI) or possibly a GL420 CDI.   E320 CDI V6 Durability Testing - Article   New V6 CDI engine in detail - Article   New V8 CDI engine in detail - Article   M Replies to this message: loyalowner (Jan 13, 2006 11:36 am) sullyak (Mar 02, 2006 8:26 am) merc1 (Mar 02, 2006 8:46 am)

Replying to: loyalowner (Jan 11, 2006 12:58 pm) I heard that they were bringing the V6 in the '07 model, so I hustled up and bought an '06 with the tried and trusty I-6 that MB is so well known for. Personally, I don't need a lot of HP (as you so rightly pointed out, torque is where the neck-snapping feeling of power comes from with acceleration in these splendid cars!)   I would be surprised if a lot of diesel 4matics sell, butas I think more about it, I would have considered the 4matic in diesel had it been available. May be a great seller in the NE and NW US.

Replying to: cctdi (Jan 11, 2006 6:25 pm) Your car is working as it was designed. The defrost "hot air/high fan" has been that way on all 6 MBs I have had the privilege to own. It's very frustrating to have to keep flipping back & forth between "Defrost" and "Auto" when all you really need is to have a little bit of airflow going past the windshield to keep it from fogging up.   Loyal Owner Replies to this message: cctdi (Jan 13, 2006 4:40 pm)

Replying to: merc1 (Jan 11, 2006 9:46 pm) M -   You are obviously much better informed than I am regarding MB products. Thank you for setting the record straight. Looks like there could be several diesel models to choose from in the future when I have to replace either my '02 ML500 or '05 E320 CDI. It's nice to have choices!   Loyal Owner

Replying to: loyalowner (Jan 13, 2006 11:32 am) Thanks, I learned to hit the aircon button when the windshield fogged up. I use your way and it works well too. Thanks!

By now, it is clear that the new V6 MB diesel for E320 and a few other models are sure things for 2007. The question in my mind is the V6 with 2987-cc in displacement still named 320, by fact, it is just about 3.L, shouldn’t be named E300? On the contrary the inline 6 has the displacement of 3222-cc to be justified 3.2 for E320. Can anybody see the scenario differently? I don’t see any incentive for me to be interest in the 07 models unless the 3996-cc V8 is the option for the new models. Replies to this message: merc1 (Jan 19, 2006 1:32 am)

Replying to: cctdi (Jan 18, 2006 1:45 pm) This article mentions that the S-Class diesel will be a S320 V6 model not a S420 V8.   Here   They also mention the R320, GL320 and ML320. Of course the E320 is a given.   M
#308 of 570 Why ratings like this? by cctdi Jan 21, 2006 (10:27 am)
Replying to: erickpl (Jun 09, 2005 7:08 am) Date Posted 11/17/2005 Worst Car ever by MIke M Style: E320 CDI 4dr Sedan (3.2L 6cyl Turbodiesel 5A) Rating       4.3   Review: This is the worst car I have ever had and the dealership has not helped me one bit. Problems I have had are as follows: Brakes, Transmission, Air Conditioning. 3 times I was driving the car it actually just turned off while I was on the highway. Bottom line this car stinks. Favorite Features: 4 matic Suggested Improvements: Get rid of this whole series of cars and start from scratch. 4 of 10 People found this review helpful.     I couldn’t believe my eyes as I was reading the post on Edmund’s E320 CDI rating. How in the world people could fool the other people by just lying something or anything just like the most politicians (even to the highest one). Is a 4matic installed in any E320 CDI so far? I wouldn’t miss the chance to buy such a car, especially in a wagon form! Does anybody out there know this person’s short statement in his rating? According to his favorite features: 4 matic, so how he got an E320 CDI equipped such feature? There are good, bad and ugly people out there!
