2009 Mercedes-Benz E320 BlueTec
2009 Mercedes Benz E320 BlueTec - Fuel Efficient Cars, Hybrids and Reviews - Automobile Magazine
The E320 is a compelling, comfortable package, and there's little reason a non-performance-oriented buyer shouldn't go for the diesel.

Listening to the Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec, it's hard to discern whether there's any engine. Even when I lead-footed the car around the David Zenlea Winter Proving Ground - aka: the snow-covered parking lot near my apartment - I could scarcely hear anything other than the subdued hum of the HVAC.
