Do you think it'll sell more if they called it E 300 4Matic BlueTEC Diesel?
Hate to admit, but I think so.
I'd love to get this car for myself when my kids grow up and leave. That's gonna be at least 18 years
That's an interesting question - one I posed myself when I was reviewing this car. It's purely a psychological thing, but I agree - the smaller number behind the E makes it seem like a cheaper, less awesome car. I absolutely hate this line, but when I saw my first one on the road, I thought "Oh, a poor man's E-class."
I guess they went with the 250 to differentiate it from the 300 gasser rather than having to distinguish it with the BlueTEC badging too? Who knows.
I chuckled when I read your comment though as that exact thought crossed my mind.
