NA is just fine for 3-pedal.
Er, what?!? S-class? I'm confused. I'm talking about a S123 - the general designation for a S style 123 series - or what in the USA we call a station wagon. 300TD, 240TD, and whatever the gasoline was (280T maybe?) Regarding turbo and manual transmission - from about 1975 to 2005, pretty much _every_ class 7 and class 8 truck on the road was a turbo charged diesel with a manual transmission. Might be a bit less prolific in smaller machines, but I'm dreaming. *smiles* I really like the turbo-supercharged motor and I really like a manual transmission. I think they belong together. Of course, my opinion is rarely sought with regard to automotive marketing... -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
