R320 CDI: This vehicle produces 221 horsepower, but more importantly 376 lb-ft. of torque giving it fuel economy better than a gasoline V6 but with V8 torque for greater performance. I really am a diesel geek. The torque and mileage may cause a swap to the CDI from the 350 this fall. note: HYBRIDS DaimlerChrysler has invested billions of dollars in alternative powerplant research over the past decades, on virtually every type of alternative to conventional gasoline engines, including hybrids. DaimlerChrysler believes that the fuel cell is the most promising over the long term but, since this technology is still a ways off; the company is focusing on diesel as part of its overall strategy to increase fuel economy and address environmental concerns. But, rather than simply wait for these vehicles to be viable, we have taken the interim step which will allow us to take advantage of the diesel’s ability to produce 30 percent lower carbon dioxide emissions and roughly 30 percent better fuel economy than gasoline engines. (See BLUETEC above) In the 4th quarter of 2006, MBUSA will expand its diesel offering to include the E320 BLUETEC, the ML320 CDI and the R320 CDI. |

Replying to: mbowers (Jun 08, 2006 6:43 am) It takes at least 175 feet to stop this thing going at 50 mph(50 feet to think about stopping and at least 125 feet to actually stop). Even if this intersection was a 4 lane divided highway the R would finally come to a stop 80 past the intersection and would have driven right through the semi on the way there.
