2016 Q50 Lineup and Availability Revealed (VR30 Engine)

RicerX · 03-07-2016, 02:16 PM

I don't know why anyone would want a 2.0T version of this car. I can't imagine the fuel economy would be far off from the 300hp version of the 3.0TT (or even the retiring 3.7L), and 200hp pushing a 3500lb car would just not be worth the fuel savings, even if they're huge.

Plus... it's a Merc motor. I would rather have the Nissan motor, or I would just buy a C class instead.

This engine seems to push the C300 pretty aggressively @ 3600lbs.

It's rated a chunk higher in power than what the Infiniti version was confirmed(?) to be putting down. However, now it seems all is up in the air. That's just what I remember seeing though.

I've said it before and I'll say it again and maybe it'll sink in somewhere. .. that "merc" engine is built right here in sister-******* tennessee right behind the plant that builds the Altima, Frontier, Titan, Maxima, and a few other engines.

Now can I confirm or deny the ************ is blowing up and Mercedes pulled the plug because we suck? No I will not.

But if it was, your Niscerdes engine is junk.

This situation sounds inherently ugly.
