| 12/23/2006 While going through our inbox this morning our friend Jinx alerted to us a couple of new reviews recently conducted by Inside Line, the first of which takes another look at the recently-introduced E320 BLUETEC. In their follow up test, the reviewers noted diesel E-Class variant for the most part lived up to its billing, closely matching the performance of the E350 while boasting of fuel consumption figures of 35 mpg on the highway and 24.4 mpg in the city. A little short of Mercedes' 26 mpg city / 37 mpg highway claim, but still superior to the E350's 19 mpg / 26 mpg highway (again, factory stated). In the end, Inside Line confirmed that which we already suspected: the E320 BLUETEC performs as well as its non-diesel counterparts; costs less money to drive; and removes the many negative stigmas typically associated with diesel powerplants. Ultimately, however, it's up to consumers to decide whether or not these features are enough to make the switch to the less well-known BLUETEC alternative.
