Hi Aditya,
Is it a sour experience that you have gone through which makes you say that? Do share it with us.
The e350 cdi is a piece of leftover crap that benz india is trying to sell here. World over the 7speed gearbox has been replaced by the 9 speed gearbox. Benz india and their dealers are so accustomed to milking their customers and over charging them, and this launch is another proof. I sincerely hope auto journalists like you also talk a bit more boldly about the variation in product quality between the cars sold here and elsewhere. The quality of plastics and fit and finish drastically comes down and they end up blaming the government for high taxation. It’s time indian customers of these premium cars are educated on the dirty product sales and manufacturing practices these indian subsidiary companies and their dealers do.
