Just goes to show how few Diesel models get sold in the USA! Hybrids suck.

[localdevdas 2]

damn.....no bimmers on either list...........lol

[my_e36 43]

Gotta love the Italians! (Closely followed by the Brits)

Dominating more than half the list there...

and congrats on Lambo, Bentley and Bugatti, everything that they make are on the list! haha!!

Having said that, Bugatti only make 1 model of car.

Considering it does over 400kph with 16 cyclinders and 4 turbos, that's not too bad.

Where's all the diesel? Many small Euro diesel easily do 40+mpg

Silly American self-rightous thinking.

And I presume the G55 AMG is meant to be a E55 AMG. And these figures surprised my Dad who drives one. As he gets alot more out of it and lives in the city. Mind you, if you take it to the track it can empty a tank in like 18mins.

There is such as thing as a G55, it is a big 4wd similar to a land cruiser. I've seen quite a few around auckland recently.

I wonder what the McLaren F1 would get, it is very light at about 1100kg, but those S70 engines aren't known for fuel efficiency! Still the best engine BMW have ever made.

[Driftit 1951]

I thought the big 4wd was called a ML55 AMG.

It is, there is also a G series. they look like old style land cruiser's.

[greenday-rulz21 4]

Yep, but theres another 4wd merc,

No, there are three kinds! Very confusing. The ML class is the X5 sized model, the GL class the new-looking but bigger than ML sized SUV, and the Gelandewagen (or simply, G-class), which is the old- school boxy looking one shown above.

Someone down my street has a new GL55 and it is absolutely massive, even parked next to the behemoth Audi Q7. Normal cars may be getting smaller, but SUVs are not!

ML Class:

GL Class:

G Class:

Pamela Anderson drives one, specially ordered with cloth trim on account of her vegetarianism.

I saw the most incredible G500 Cabriolet in Pauanui the other day, and I think I may have seen it in Ponsonby too. Apparantly (the Cabriolets) are hand-built in a small factory in Austria, which only produce about 20 a year!

interesting the jeep comes in pretty low too . that sucks and its not even a proformance car like the others , at least the other have excuse to use so much fuel .

and the old manual corolla comes in too..

i bet if bmw still made light e30 316i they would come in somewhere
