Hybrid in C
http://www.leftlanenews.com/mercedes...frankfurt.html
Wouldn't it be cool if in 2009, the C-class got the hybrid from the gl450 which produces around 340 hp but still produces 30mpg. That would not only be an awesome response to the flagship 3-series but it would also blow away any competition with the superior mileage. I doubt, however, that benz would do this as this is the flagship hybrid engine btu it would be so cool if it were true!

Remember that in most countries other than the US, Mercedes sells a large percentage of its cars with Diesel engines. The new technology Diesels are clean, quiet, powerful, and economical.
The E-Class with Diesel in US spec gets well over 30 mpg, and has the acceleration of a gasoline engine. Imagine this engine in a C-Class!
Hybrids have been the subject of some recent criticism, since they often do not achieve their EPA-rated mpg. Diesels, on the other hand, often exceed their rated mpg.

I presume you mean in the North American C-Class, since the rest of the planet could buy a V-6 Bluetec engine two years ago in the W203. And of course now in the W204.
