The S300 Bluetec Hybrid uses a 2.2 Liter, 4 cylinder Diesel engine in a hybrid configuration, to deliver an astounding average of 43.5 mpg. That's better than anything you can buy stateside today, except for a Prius. Remember, this is the big badass S Class, not some little Euro weenie model that's a Mercedes in name only. Now, before you accuse me of touting a car that can hardly get out of its own way, let me point out that the S300 has a combined 224 horsepower and 413 lb/ft of torque. Even with that big S Class body, that's good enough for about 150 mph.

Mercedes says they will start selling the S300 Bluetec Hybrid in Europe in 2010. Let's just hope they see fit to offer it in the gas guzzling USA. Please? Pretty please?

That 2.2 sure beats the snot out of the 80's model 190D which also used a 2.2L at 75hp and 30mpg. It's estimated that this S-Class diesel is good for 150mph too

good picture. In 2007 I was determined to get a v12, but I really didn''t know gas would become such a political issue. I hesitated, and I''m glad I did.

I was hoping that MB would have a hydrogen or water-HHO car by 2010. I currently have my 1990, and the 2000, so a 2010 would fit right in. I must be getting old.

I always have to ask them the same question.... Does it come in blue?
