Start-stop has been around for years in lots of different cars in the US, including Mercedes. As for the Nissian/Mercedes engine link, this is also old news. Check this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiniti_Q50 The M274 is used in lots of Mercedes right now, and its really excellent. Jaim

I noticed this on some Benzes a coupla years ago when stopped next to them at lights. Engine dies after a few seconds then starts up in a coupla seconds when the gas petal is pushed. i recall a GLK and maybe a Cheep-klasse. What a horrific concept. --FT On 12/14/16 9:59 PM, Max Dillon vi

I think Mercedes has offered that engine-off-at-stop in Yurp for years, I vaguely recall driving a rental in Italy that did that, not sure if it was Mercedes or some other marque. Somebody posted an article here about current or next generation Mercedes engines. One engine has a starter / alte
