I've voted for the E250 purely because of the aerodynamics and, having driven a vehicle with CVT, the Mercedes 'box should be slightly more predictable in it's power delivery.

Perhaps he should return and ask if any forum members would buy a car that was speed limited to 70mph.....

Any chance you could show some decorum on this public forum?
This is one of times when you DON'T say what you do outright, you put the question hypothetically or substitute autobahn for motorway, for example. Very poor form.
Thanks to Pentoneer and GiantManVan this has turned into quite a funny thread. :bannana:
I'm guessing my mate Dave who recently saw an XJ giving it the beans, before catching and passing it at 148mph on a dual carriageway, shouldn't be telling the forum about it then
I'll have him executed forthwith.

However, the results from the poll so far aren't very conclusive.
Oh well - only one way to test this. Drag race!

Deffo the way to do it, At a proper venue of course lol
You might not find it just so funny if GVM's colleagues pull you for accelerating beyond 70 mph , or mine have to cut you out of your car or clean you up off the road following an incident :bannana:
3. I travel to Germany occasionally - usually at speeds of around 600 mph. For the record - this is not on any A roads, motorways, or other interesting country roads.
Thanks again.
Now let's see.... 600 mph equates to 521 knots, so yes, that's about right.
Airbus or Boeing?

Airbus or Boeing?
...instead you seem to think that you comment is funny?!
Assuming your dancing banana is an attempt at humour.

I retract my earlier comment on your input to this thread.
So, on a more serious note let me share something with you.
I'll confess I have actually accelerated over 70mph before - (for the record I think it was 72mph ).
However, more importantly:
1. I didn't get arrested
2. I didn't cause an incident
3. I didn't have to get cut out of my car
4. I didn't get cleaned off the road
5. Lastly, it was fun - because life should be!
What Car says the E250 accelerates well in gear but isn't refined enough and clatters like a diesel. Also, it's harsh and boomy.

Phone around dealers, find out who has one (even if second hand on the lot) then go and drive one.

Jesus wept, this forum sometimes!!
I think it depends more on the gearing, but in theory I would guess the 3.5L V6 may have the edge, but not by much.
BHP is everything, torque is simply a figure you use to multiply with rpm to get the BHP figure.
People talk about a 220cdi being quicker from 50-70mph in 4th than a 350 V6 petrol, what they forget is the petrol driver could drop down to 3rd and leave the 220cdi for dead.
