Turbochargers for 2010?
A buddy of mine told me that I should have gotten the turbo C350… I said no such animal. He told me, ‘What they haven’t come out yet?’, I thought he was on crack. He went on to say that the turbo’d Mercedes should run circles around the BMW 335.
I didn’t believe him till I found this link… http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/17/m...ineup-by-2010/
and this one... which still refers to autoblog... http://www.thetorquereport.com/2008/..._tur.html#more
Anyone heard about this?

Actually MBZ said they will use smaller engines coupled with Piezo injectors (Direct Injection) along with turbos starting 2010. This will help them achieve lower emissions while extracting the most possible power out of the engine. this is going to be a dream for tuners since all you need is a simple ECU upgrade to increas the boost.

Waiting for W204 Facelift
I only heard that MB will switch to Turbo instead of Kompressor engines in middle 2009

Not to mention the direct injection 350CGI engine is now offered in the C in Europe, along with the E and CLS. Hopefully MB will change the E and C here to 350CGI. Also, the C250CDI is out, even better would be if that comes to the US.
