IMO, I'd much rather have the engine from the M35h than a Mercedes engine.

I wish car manufacturers would just get with the program and make diesel hybrids common already.
Personally I couldn't care much about the power plant be it hybrid, gas, diesel, or something else. As long as it continues to build on the previous version/model not a one step forward two steps back upgrade. |

I don't expect a huge difference in the engine. They will use what ever engine is being used in their Infiniti line that can be tuned for extra HP

Daimler did a pretty good job a few year ago when it partner with Chrysler. So it would be interesting to see what kind of improvement they can bring to the table.
Even that I feel the Z doesn't need too much improvement and is the best bang for the buck.

Daimler didn't do that good. If they did Daimler wouldn't have sold their Chrysler share as soon as they did. An what did we get out of the parternship? The crossfire? Far from win.
