I'd buy a diesel version if it was available in the US.
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.


I think that's about $3,247 US.

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


It's the inability to run at normal road speeds for long that caught my
attention.

I was thinking more like tying a clubbed Cannuck to the rear bumper and

It's gay.

Higher gas prices will mean less dependence on foreign oil, incentives
for new technologies and people will drive less. I don't understand why
the liberals are crying.


... it's 4ltrs/100km at 70mph with 6 speed paddle shifter & a 40hp diesel
engine. Excellent crash test rating and polymer exchangeable body panels.
I already have a sufficient fleet of V8, V6 4x4 and all wheel
trucks/SUVs. I want a small car that's cheap on fuel.... this thing is
fricken Cool!

I watched one of these negotiate traffic the other day and find a place
to park in a full lot. The guy got to the booze store and was back on the
road before I even made the turn into the parking lot.

It isn't and won't be available in the USA ...and Liberals always cry!

I concur. I have a manly pickup truck for hauling ammunition and animal
carcasses and a 44 mpg hwy compact for driving to the florist and gay
bars.

Nothing like a truck to run American anti-sealing activists off the
road... but since being gay is legal up here... we don't have "Gay Bars".


It's legal down here, too. Oh, wait--I'll bet you didn't mean shooting 'em.
