You are in the Diesels Forum. Your Host is kcram

The thing you miss is that the forums are run by the hosts and are owned by Edmunds. Your post is "drawing a line in the sand", how do you expect them to react? I for one would e-mail the host if I had a question. I'm sure they would be happy to reply. I for one am more interested when I will be able to buy a clean diesel in California so keep those news items coming.

Mercedes is showing new diesels at the Geneva Autoshow this month, pretty interesting: http://www.cwwcardesign.com/mercedes_slk320_cdi.html "A new V8 engine generates 231 kW/315 hp in the Vision SL 400 CDI and provides the eight-cylinder’s crankshaft with an outstanding torque of 730 Nm. The SLK 320 CDI tri-turbo, meanwhile, can generate an impressive 210 kW/286 hp and 630 Nm of torque from three litres of displacement (70.3 kW and 211 Nm per litre of displacement)." M

I hadn't thought of this before, but with a open top diesel car wouldn't that diesel engine sound be kinda awful to hear? I mean diesels still sound like rocks in a can from outside the car in most cases. Other than this reservation I think these new engine options will make the SL and SLK more appealing to Europeans who won't touch a petrol engined vehicle. M |
