damn! look at the torque. :shock:

good to see the SLK with diesel engine as well. diesel engine seems to be able to produce more power than petrol engine.... btw, i have a question.....which engine is better? petrol or diesel? .... drivers(chauffeurs) in Bd told me once that diesel engine doesn't last long as petrol engines....and its also hard to repair diesel engine. is it true?

my german friend told me that diesel engines might be economical in terms of fuel consumption but insurance is higher.

diesels are normally economical....but the best advantage is that the diesel prices are cheaper than petrols... any truth to diesel engins lasting longer than their petrol counterparts?
