the blutec engines are nice alternatives for the regular engines, but i personally think hybrid is the near future...and semi electric vehicle ( electric engine main source of power )in a post near future.
anway....i hope mercedes also focus on making the quality of the productline even better then today..they should be better than lexus....( of course lexus in my opinin is a expensive toyota avensis )

In Europe, we don?t care about hybrids because it?s only economical in the city with stop-and-go traffic.
For US-customers, the diesel is much better and much more economical:

So if you are going on the highway, the electric motor won?t work and the petrol engine has to carry heavy batteries with it.
These are the values of my diesel (2000er Seat Ibiza TDI with a 110hp Audi-engine):
Highway (constant speed)
50mph - 98 mpg, 75mph - 85mpg, 110mph - 34mpg, 130mph - 23mpg
City
40mpg
Even if you can believe it, these are true and realistic values..

sebfill55, as the photo caption says, it's a ML, not a GL. It just looks like a GL because Sheryl is a very petite woman. It looks bigger than it really is.
