Article comments for First Drive: 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL320 CDI 4MATIC - Walk around to the front, nearer the engine, and there's the barely detectable plunkety-ping of a diesel engine. It's not any louder than the noise made by many modern gasoline engines; it's just different. (more)

#25 of 26 Since when do Edmunds editors make political comments? by graylc Dec 12, 2007 (11:36 am)
I come to Edmunds for facts, not to read subtle snipes at either political party or our President. The oh-so-typical stench of smug leftist elitism flowing from this sentence in the main article is nauseating; Quote from Edmunds: "Climb behind the wheel, the real test, and the notion that this rig is diesel powered fades faster than low fuel prices during the Bush administration" If Edmunds were to do the proper research and write a proper story, the rise in fuel prices is determined by the GLOBAL market for oil. How about some real old fashioned journalism: remember what that was, where the writer actually did some research and based their stories on facts and not personal (or corporate) political agendas?? Look into the rise of the Chinese economy and how they are buying up every last drop of oil on the market for their burgeoning economy, including their new love with the passenger car. Edmunds corporate directors needs to have a sit down with their writers and the editor who allowed such drivel to be inserted into a story about a new Mercedes.

Replying to: graylc (Dec 12, 2007 11:36 am) I think that is a valid criticism. Josh was probably just trying to inject a bit of humor into the article but he should leave comedy to the professionals. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
