Diesel sucks.
You want a diesel 100 in the US? Buy Podvin's 6-wheeler.  |
I drove a new GL 320 diesel a few weeks ago in Dallas and:
A) It wasn't noisy
B) It didn't stink. In fact, from the drivers seat (where
I spend the most time in
my car
) it smelled quite nice, like fine leather in fact !!
C) I think it was, in all probability quicker\ faster than my 4.7 100
D) I personally think the GL is quite ugly....Thus it isn't even a consideration to me. I do commend MB for offering the diesel option in the USA though !!
The diesel issue is well documented in other threads on MUD so I will not repeat what has been covered already. It is a complex issue that, in the end, lies on personal preferences, needs and wants. In the end...To each his own !!
Please pardon me for the mini-hijack
