In this case, it’s the latest version of Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen, the G350 which now features a BlueTEC Diesel plant under it’s large, square hood.

Why Volkswagen, why? Why on God’s green Earth won’t you sell something like the Polo here in The States? Yeah, I know, market research says blah-blah-blah, but this car, specifically the Polo BlueMotion could fill a hell of a great niche (if you ask me). And it seems to be about as big as a [...]
