Just wondering if anyone's bought one of these and if so, how do you find it? DM, I thought you were going to try one....did you?

Well guys, I got a Bluetec Hybrid to test out for 4 days. Its a W212 Avantgarde in Cavansite Blue, with the standard AG spec etc. After some 400 miles (of which 280 has been motorway) the car is showing a dismal 45mpg average. This having reset all counters, and monitoring the actual fuel...

No not one of those Prius things. I have previously had a C270cdi. Great engine, plenty of oomph, lasts for ever (it's from the Sprinter) and used to give me 44mpg. Never had a 124, but you can't be a member on here and not hear positive things about them. So my question is, would it...

This thread is for speculation, rumour and plausible potential facts! I'm ordering a new company car...and I just realised that MB are planning on releasing a hybrid version of the E class this year. With 109g/km emissions - very good for company car drivers! So: - When do we think it...

Have a look at a new concept in electric hybrid vehicles, Chorus™ for Cars, that really work, unlike the current crop of dual hybrids that are heavy, very complex and hugely expensive. Series Hybrids are very simple. They use a single-speed engine to power an alternator used to supply...

According to reports in AutoExpress, Mercedes have been working with BMW and GM to develop hybrid technology to go with its BlueTec diesel engines. It is said that a Hybrid ML will be available in 2009. I am surprised because in a test across America -coast to coast as they say- the diesel ML...

In the midst of the usual drudge of reading this morning up cropped a report on Toyota entering a Lexus GS450H hybrid in a 24 hour race. I can understand Audi entering a diesel in such a race but why a hybrid? Would the electric bit ever be used? Is it not just wasted technology in these...
