yea, I thought they were supposed to put a MB engine in it. Makes no

AH, that explains it, I was wondering because Consumer Reports talked
about how that
engine in real world conditions got 50% less MPG than EPA numbers. I
couldn't understand
if it was a CDI MB engine why the numbers could be so skewed/wrong/
deceitful.

You can have a PT Cruiser, Dodge Grand Voyager or Cheap Cherokee all
with diesel in Europe...I think the 2.7 CDI from the M Class.

Hmmm - wonder if I could buy the engine and have it shipped over for
my Grand Voyager? The original 3.3 engine uses more oil (Mobil 1 since
new) and has needed more repairs than any of my Benzs (SLC excluded)
from '97 to date.

HELL NO. The damn MB engines are made by Detroit. Cummins makes a MUCH
better product. MB makes a (well, this is questionable) kick ass car
engine, but that's what's made in the Mother Land.

I have no inclination to buy a small 4 cyl car that gets no better mpg than my
3.8L Taurus.
I doubt it was designed for Europe as the looks are just too US for
them. Too vanillaI know for one that Jeremy Clarkson absolutely
hates them and says so on his tv show and in his columns.
This is actually a breath of fresh air as so many reviews are too mamby

Oh, yeah, by strange coincidence he seems to find British cars to be fine an
inordinate amount of the time. And he whinges on about diesels ad
Yes, he really pisses me off with his racing against public transport.
He takes a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti and drives to Switzerland while his
compatriots take the train.oh, and he arrives at the same time as
them all fresh as a daisy! YEAH RIGHT!!
Oh, and how much did the fuel cost to run

LoL, would you buy one anyway?
Just wait until it arrives. The automotive writers will start whinging on
about this and
I just like the idea that the morons at Chrylser can get it right but
always somewhere else
There's ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE I would ever buy an american vehicle. I
spent 2 years at a dealership that used to be Jeep and was now a Toyota.
Our cars came in for oil changes, mufflers and
the jeep boys (buyers not sellers) like the 4 banger and are slobbering
all over themselves to get the larger engine models. At least this is
