Re: Went for a spin in a NON SRT XFire...
funny
All (I think) MB's have had this feature since the early 70's -
Pretty funny, when you go in the service bay, seeing all these wide mouth bass lookin' cars being serviced...
Up until about '72 (and I may be off by a year or two) the hoods opened from the windshield, like all good europeans,
and they were despised by every owner and mechanic alike
... so they built this new feature in models in the 70's for better access...those hefty MB grills needed it too...
