"Mercedes didn't even have the courage to put the real 2008 EPA mileage on their web site."

"2008 figures for E320 BLUETEC, E550 and E63 AMG not yet available at time of publication."

How can they lack courage if the information isn't available at time of publication?

This is a bunch of economic horsecrap. We're fuel-dependent, and 'the environment' is the new fascism. Any idea that can be used to play economic war games is suspect. We need to make our OWN darn fuel, and 'win'. Ill bet there's plenty buried in Texas, yet. Anyone done an independent survey? Oil profits buy a lot of propaganda airtime...DON'T they?

Prescott Bush made Hitler. That's my view.

This is 2008. The 1986 BMW 535i that I had averaged 28MPG. Why is it 22 years later and the fuel efficiency of these cars for sale in the U.S. do not beat that?

With the exception of the Bluetec Benz, the other vehicles are all gas. In the US they only sell the 3.2, but in Europe they also sell a 2.0 liter diesel C-Class Mercedes Benz that makes 46MPG (better than a Prius!) a 3.2 CLS that does 43 and an S class that does 34. BMW has diesels that do even better, getting as much as 62MPG on the 1-series, and 55 on the 5. And if they can call the Volvo C30 a "luxury" car, then they can call the Mini Cooper D Clubman (which costs just as much, but has a better interior, and a much better reputation for reliability) makes an insane 68.9 miles per gallon, and emits 20% less carbon dioxide than a Prius.

If domestics had more fuel efficient cars that would go against the elites plan of destroying domestic manufacturing. Why they are doing it is hard to tell but after a life time of watching this slow motion train wreck in progress it's the only thing I can assume.

Totally useless article... no useful facts at all, such as which cars, which modles, and how efficient. I've noticed this about articles in some high priced magazines -- they are useless and the magazines only exist to sell advertising (ok duh) for expensive clothing word by 15 year-olds which no fifteen year old could afford and watches which cost more than most cars.

Usually Forbes is better than this -- but on this article they fell down and you Huffington Post people did us readers a disservice by running it.
