People tend to confuse turbo lag for transmission hesitation in Benz's. That's MB's weakness. But you'll be hard pressed to find lag in a Benz engine. It's just it takes some seat time to realize it's the transmission and not the turbos.

I personally think that the TT 276 motor has a bit of lag. And you are right about a MB motor not having any hesitation. I've driven a lot of our cars with 111, 112, 272, 273, 271, 274, N/A 276, 278 156, 157 motors and they are all pretty responsive and peppy.
