Then again the diesel MPG average of approx 21 vs the V8 MPG average of 16 would be really nice to lower annual fuel costs by about $600 per year. But the quieter sound of the V8 and lack of having to smell diesel gas at the pumps would be nice too.

No Tech package? NEXT
Enough said
Coming from someone who currently drives the V8 model I would chose the 35d ANY DAY. Not only is it far more equipped I would assume it also has a higher resale value in the future
