2009 Mercedes-Benz ML320 BlueTEC - Best New Car : The ML320 is as silent as you would expect of any Mercedes. Listen closely from the outside and you can hear a hint of the old diesel clatter, but it’s far from attention attracting. With nearly 400 pound-feet of torque as low as 1,600 rpm, the 2009 ML320 diesel accelerates from a rest to 60 mph in about 8.0 seconds: That’s quicker than many sporty cars, and more than adequate to allow easy merging onto a busy freeway from a stop at a metered on-ramp. None of the familiar diesel soot or stink comes from the tailpipe. Mercedes says it is “the world’s cleanest diesel.”
