Ya gotta remember, the M112 was M-Benz first all-new modern V6. It was to be used in a wide range of models including sedans, wagons and SUVs weighing 1000-1500 Lbs. more than the lil 'ole Crossfire. It's a bread-n-butter all purpose motor designed to run long, clean and economically in a wide variety of everyday drivers. It never was supposed to be a high-winding sports car motor. It's not a finicky screamer, its designed for German luxury cars !
