| I think diesels will become more and more popular as the cost of fuel
reaches ridiculous heights. In 07 Mercedes is introducing a new diesel
engine that burns cleaner than gasoline. In addition in September in new
clean burning diesel fuel will be mandatory in the U.S. I wonder if
Lexus has a diesel in its future?

They will make diesels if the market demands it. I hardly think there
would be sufficient demand. They have answered with hybrids instead.
This produces the conflicting demands of better performance and fuel
economy that the U.S. market demands. >> Stay informed about: Lexus GS300 V Mercedes E320 |

I stand corrected. It doesn't have better fuel economy than the E320.
Instead, it has better performance.
In the case of the gasoline engine, the E350, it has better fuel
economy. >> Stay informed about: Lexus GS300 V Mercedes E320 |
