The Mercedes-Benz S 320 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY Is Officially Unveiled

Mercedes has announced today that starting at the end of 2008, they'll be expanding their BlueEFFICIENCY lineup to include a luxury saloon in the form of the S 320 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY. Compared to its predecessor, the S 320 CDI, the BlueEFFICIENCY variant boasts fuel savings of some 10 percent, a figure that translates into real world fuel consumption of 7.6 liters per 100 km (0.7 liters less than the standard S 320 CDI) and CO2 emissions of 199 g/km (21 grams less than the standard S 320 CDI). For my American readers, that equates to roughly 31 mpg, a figure that makes it one of the most economical luxury sedans in the world. Read Article

The only cars I dream about are ones that aren't offered in the U.S. The Sierra Cosworth; Mercedes 190e 2.5-16V Evolution II; Toyota Celica GT4; Alfa Romeos.

The celica gt4 was offered here between the mid to late 80's in very ltd. amounts. 2 people I know have one.

Let me clarify that. I knew that it was here originally, but we only got the first gen. I'm referring to the mid 90s celica gt4.

A few years ago, I had spent some time researching how to import one to the U.S. I sent emails to the NHTSA. Turns out, you can't import one into the U.S. But if I remember correctly, you can import it to Canada. That's about as close as you'd be able to get one in the U.S.

I thought in this age of Internet and global reach that this website serves more than just Americans. I personally enjoy seeing articles about European and Asian models as they shed some light on trends that will cross the pond and also highlight the priorities that Europeans and Asians and others have on car preference.
