No kidding. Would you trust you life to one of these
ar freeway speeds?

I noticed there are two other versions, a couple and
convertible sports car, and talk of an SUV version.

My main interest is in a diesel. It is disgraceful the
diesel version is not available in the US. I wonder if
I bought one in Canada and drove it down here, if
I could get it through DMV. Perhaps I should just
register it in Canada?

95mpg is fabulous.

I was looking them over at the local Mercedes dealership here. The turbo
diesel sits on the back axle and it's a rear wheel drive. 6 speed stick or
paddle shift. It's a cool little car. I was pricing one of the convertible
models with leather seats, A/C, power windows etc.... 23K Cdn.

It's the fuel and manoeuvrability aspect for in city driving that really
caught my interest.
