One even imported an X6 from the states because it had a massive petrol engine that was not available in Europe. If it's a V12 they have to tell people about it at every opportunity. If the fake 770Li drove down our street it would cause a riot as all the Russians would run off in a panic looking for a 780 to buy. I can see the funny side of that!

I think the C230 is real but V6 Komp is added on. BTW no such model. The V6 does not have the Kompessor.(Maybe only in the V8 AMGs). Rich enough to buy the car new but pea brained to bastardise the car. What a shame..... Saw a new W203 Merc with the logo at the back “C230 V6 Komp”. I think the C230 is real but V6 Komp is added on.
