30 pounds ? That’s awesome M ! I must do the same , The trick is : as a wise man once put it “Be Willing To Do It Badly” 😉
btw , I’m gonna have to quote you on the “Cheesecake/Pizza Intake” 😉
Compare this to the Audi a6 tdi
motoman lost a whole bunch of weight
It`s amazing how long it took for this specification for a car this large and premium class to reach the American market. It makes os much sense if it`s a petrol/diesel to have this capacity as it`s efficient and rides just as well for an everyday driver or for a bit of fun. This is given that in Asian and European markets a 4 cylinder turbo diesel/petrol is already considered the base line. i.e; Merc E200 & E250 CDI/CGI, BMW 5200, 525d, Audi A6 2.0 TDI
Extremely valid point!
Valid point, it’s an excellent car! But remember, our cars’ prices here do not include tax and vehicle taxes are much higher in many European countries.
Yes but I will say it’s not entirely the manufacturers fault it’s overpriced. It’s mainly doe to the devaluation of the currency and inflation.
10x 🙂 the car is fantastic. Here in Europe we’ve had V8 twin turbo diesels from BMW Mercedes and Audi but they weren’t reliable – just couldn’t take so much torque and now only Audi offers diesel engine with more than 6 cylinders but most people here buy these 4cyl diesels and they are great
The car I drove was modestly equipped at about US$58K. Base price is about US$52K.
Hey Eric! This is definitely one of the good ones. Mercedes held an event up here in Oregon – some great driving!
In Europe, 2014 E350 Bluetec is available with 3 liters V6 diesel and 250hp.
Hey look! It’s MotoMan’s non-sport jacket and pocket square wearing twin brother! On topic, this looks like a pretty cool car. A reviewer I’m subscribed to also uploaded a video about this same same. The same event, I’d wager. America needs more good diesels.
For the money you get that car in US here in Europe we get basic c-class with 1.6L engine so stop complaining and buy the car 🙂 and for those of you who think that merced makes stupid move by canceling v6 diesel i’ll tell you this – it is the smartest move ever. Other luxury European cars must do the same because the only reason to put a diesel engine in a car is fuel economy. If you want performance – V8 twin turbo.
Motoman wow man you have lost a lot of weight. I need to do the same thing. Congrats. Oh yeah great gas mileage on that car but the face looks so cartoonish. I like the last generation better.
Nice car but it’s far to expensive.
Interesting . . . Here’s something to consider – that Diesel that I drove starts at about US$53,000. That is a car that is now CERTIFIED as 45 MPG and you saw that I did better . . . Now think about this: Most of the Korean and Japanese luxury cars with 3.0 V6s are in the mid 40s. Still expensive?
Thanks man . . . In total about 30 pounds. Been a distance runner for a long while but got to the point where the jacket was getting tight (look at the Rolls film) and decided to up the running and lower the cheesecake/pizza intake . . . 🙂
We discuss the ‘Sport’ v ‘Luxury’ grille options in the film we shot the following day. Stay tuned.
Wow , MotoMan you lost a lot of weight , i need to do the same! (What’s your diet name again?).
Oh yea, The Mileage on the car is pretty good.
As always, keep up the great work!
Can’t wait for the Sprinter review, I have an 03 and it is a fantastic vehicle
