(If you've read any reviews of Lexus, the first thing to jump out at you was likely the fact it gets worse real world mpg than many gas powered SUVs.)]]>Sep 12th 2007 12:42PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/12/frankfurt-2007-mercedes-has-an-answer-for-lexus-with-s-class-hy/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/12/frankfurt-2007-mercedes-has-an-answer-for-lexus-with-s-class-hy/Sep 12th 2007 12:42PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/12/frankfurt-2007-mercedes-has-an-answer-for-lexus-with-s-class-hy/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/12/frankfurt-2007-mercedes-has-an-answer-for-lexus-with-s-class-hy/
BMW (with the 1-series diesel and new Mini diesel) and Citroen have this technology without the "hybrid" designation.]]>Sep 12th 2007 12:44PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/12/frankfurt-2007-mercedes-has-an-answer-for-lexus-with-s-class-hy/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/12/frankfurt-2007-mercedes-has-an-answer-for-lexus-with-s-class-hy/ are getting to market. I applaud all of the manufacturers because I know they care deeply about the planet and our mutual environment.One question I
have though is this. I own a 1998 Mercedes C230 with the 2.3 litre engine. She is capable of returning an overall mpg of 35. Yes...35 mpg overall. A couple of years ago Mercedes stopped making this wonderful engine available in the US. I can only guess why. Imagine
how many mpg the C230 would achieve with the hybrid engine config. being discussed here. Perhaps in the mid 50s. Mercedes...Will you put this hybrid config in the new C230 sedan using the 2.3 engine or something similar? And don't listen to auto writers. All they ever want is more power...more more more. Which is probably why the 2.3 engine dissappeared from these shores.
