[alfa] Diesels and dollars

[C M Smith <cmsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While I have zero interest in driving any product from Daimler Chrysler, 
with the possible exception of the Mitsubishi Evo and the extremely 
improbable exception of the McLaren Mercedes, I ask whether the supposedly 
superior diesel Mercedes is a turbo. If not, then I accept I am mistaken 
about the superiority of gasoline power for passenger cars. If, as I 
suspect, the Mercedes is supercharged then I maintain my position that 
equivalent gasoline engines are more suitable for passenger cars than any 
diesel. If the engine is the same sized, turbo'd, etc then the gasoline 
powered car should be quicker.
