Well, I saw advertised in the new Road and Track that both BMW and Mercedes will truly bring their 50-state diesels to the U.S. by Fall/Winter of this year. That's the E and M-series Mercedes powerful enough to tow a commercial jet, and the 3-series that has more torque than a V10 BMW but is as fast as a 300 hp twin turbo gas 3 series.
But damn if there's anyone I know who can currently afford such superior cars.
Or really afford
any car at the moment...
Oh well, there's always the secondary market.
