you fellows have a lot more choices, we only get the E 320, 500, 55.
you have multiple 4cyl supercharged options, multiple turbodeisels,
in all vehicle classes. not much of a market for
"lowly" 4cyl or oil burners in the "premium" market in usa, where
Southern California ALONE accounts for over 100f MB sales
WORLDWIDE. scroll down on this page:

they say an all new 3l v6 cdi is supposed to come here. as for
sound, there is NOTHING to compare to the inline 6s made by bmw.
i've never heard a sweeter sound this side of ferrari or
CART/F1.
I heard on the radio this morning that the new Mini has been voted
top car of 2003 in Detroit.
and guess what? the new 7 sold more than the previous ones! BMW got
to snub their thumbs at the naysayers who thought investment that
went to the mini would have been better spent on an
SUV, and that the 7 wouldn't sell. they sure got their game plan
down. go inline six!

I think the sound of the BMW six is over sold. I have ridden in
several BMWs and they sound remarkably like a Honda Accord 4 cylinder
to me. Now my 67 Alfa GTV - that was sound.
