S400 hybrid: Hottest hybrid at the Detroit Auto Show?
Mercedes getting its hybrid act togetherNo doubt, my biggest LA Auto Show disappointment has been Toyota. Not one word about hybrid cars at their press release.
Anyway, my favorite hybrid vehicle so far - purely based upon looks and luxury - is the Mercedes S400 diesel hybrid. That's right, I said diesel.
Early reports suggest about 30 mpg for this 275 hp V6 hybrid. It's not the greatest fuel economy, but it's one hot car.

30mpg.. S400 Hybrid.. I think that is the 'Petrol' or 'Gas' fueled version not the bluetec diesel - which would of course have far greater fuel economy!
I can't remember what I was thinking at the time - whether I was looking at the Bluetec or not.
Anyway, the S400 Bluetec mild hybrid, last I heard, had a 40 mpg highway estimate.
Thanks for pointing that out!
