While our main obsession is with the “Sport” aspect of wagons, at times we are left wanting a more efficient and practical daily driver: enter the Mercedes C300 Diesel Hybrid Sport Wagon. Utilizing nearly all the same components as the fantastic new C-Class Wagon, the C300 “Bluetec-Hybrid” shows the future of Sport Wagons. Mercedes has remained quiet about the specifics of the Diesel Hybrid, but we expect great things from a manufacture who spends a million dollars a day on research and development. Expect a combined MPG figure to be somewhere around fifty. With that efficiency and a taught, responsive, and sporty chassis, and you have the ultimate daily driver. Stay tuned, more details to come soon.
