I saw some funny analysis from one Robbert Nagila of NTV about cc of these two models.That the passat consumes more,it being 1790cc while C180 consumes less,it being 1597cc...Is this true???

The Hague...or Local Triburnal ama TJRC.

who owns...CMC....???

I'm the real Massey F.....shut your mouth

@TRS;

Now that's a funny question!

I am one the owners...have been since 1994!!

Others include;


Kingsway Nominees - 12.4%
Paul wanderi Ndungu - 11.3%
Stanbic Nominees - 6.7%
Rift Valley Finance - 4.5%
Andy Forwarders - 4.1%
Joe Kamau Kibe - 3.7%
APA Insurance - 3.2%
Mobicom (aka,Wanderi) - 2.1%
Craysell Investments - 1.5%
Hemkunvar Ramji Devraj Shah - 1.1%

This was the shareholding as at31st Dec 2008

As you can see,non of the usual suspects are on the list...indeed,the largest shareholder would be Wanderi with a combined 13.4% .

It is interesting that three of these top 10 hold their shares in their personal names (Wanderi,Kibe,& Ramji). They see no need to hide behind some ubiquitous company name.


Behind the gardens...Behind the wall...Under the tree (Including: Red...Dark Blue...Yellow)

@enigma,gud points,bt I saw a 1597cc C180 in the dailies juzi. There were also 1800 n 2000cc C180s. Just couldnt get it...

The only reason why some people are still alive is coz its illegal to shoot them!!

@Impunity - I started doubting the numbers when Nagila indicated something like carbon emissions of 150gms/km - thats more,gramme for gramme,than the fuel used in a km (and 150 gms is like a bar of bath soap - basically on the drive to work I'd dump 1kg of CO2? no way!)



. Let me check out that comparison site. I think if one can get more BHP with less cc,then the car is more efficient than one with less BHP and higher cc (Peugeot 504 I hear is one such car when viewed against the entry level 126 series Merc (280S/280SEL) i.e. cc vs BHP

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

But how many of those ministers drive 1600cc Marc or the C180??? They usually go for the guzzler E class and God knows what else!

Life is worth living cos God planned it to be so.

seems the 1.6 merc does exist,my mistake.

i always assumed the 1st two digits strictly detailed the litres....

@enigma:Prior to the mid 90s Mercedes +BMW faithfully used the first 2 numbers (merc) or last two digits(BMW) to indicate engine capacity eg mercedes 230E was a 2300cc fuel injected engine.
nowadays sometimes the digits correspond to the cc like the new E300 but sometimes not like the C180.
BMW have been doing this since the E46 3series from 2002 the 318 has a 2000cc engine and not a 1800cc while the 320 has a 2000cc engine.
