Hello municipality, it happens rarely enough that German motor journalists recognize the advantages of our elk (want/may). In today’s edition of “AUTO” a comparative test of the Diesel-Limos by Alfa, BMW, Toyota and just Volvo appears. To make it short: 1st place: 3 BMW (2.0 D with 163 hp) 2nd place: S60 D5 (185 hp) 3rd place: Toyota, model name forgotten (2.2 D with 177 hp 4th place: Alfa 159 (2.4 D with 200 hp) The 2nd place for the year-old Volvo does not surprise (me) at all, to the The new D5 really declassifies the others, whereby the 200 HP Alfa can not play out its nominal performance advantage in any way due to massive overweight and unharmonious performance. The test repeatedly shows the dilemma that the S60 and its backpack twin brother V70 do not fit into a “scooter”. The S60 has to compare with a small agile BMW 3 (between VW Jetta-Klas) The V70 is technically identical with the Audi A6, the E-Class and the five-speed BMW. Both cannot function objectively. Ulli
