OK, more to life than 0-60, but fer cryin out loud an 84 900T did 8.1 seconds with 140hp and a 5 speed. I'd expect no less from a modern diesel.
I looked at a Merc CDI and didn't bite at a claimed 0-60 of 6.8 because Merc lied...it was about 8 seconds according to independent tests and my backside-0-meter.
The newest Mercedes E350 CDI is stronger, but still not under 7 seconds. something under 8. for that kind of money it better beat 7 seconds, top speed over 130 (easy to do), and have excellent brakes and tires.
The 9-3 with 150hpTDI and six speed trans is something wrong (probably too heavy) if it can't get close to 8 seconds.
