I believe the diesel engine displaces 3.0L and not 3.5L.

Thus, the Austrian Alps and a series of switchbacks to make a slalom skier salivate.
Indeed, I am salivating.

The full redesign of this car is going to be important...and exciting.  :popcorn:

Yes, indeed. I blame the nomenclature.  :banghead:

Right. I forgot .5 means turbo in German.

I don't think being a diesel has had anything to do with my ML's issues.  Although,having said that, The GLS is liable to have even more complex electronic systems than my ML and that would make me tend to agree with you in terms of "no thanks"
