Power curves are similar. The V6 should still feel better over 90% of the rev range.

Default Has any auto company changed engines within the typical 4 year model lineup?
This seems rather bizarre.

MB C350 likely to get the same 305-hp engine as the facelifted 2009 SLK350

Any guesses on the V6 engine - aka "the missing link" to 300 hp?

350 hp in the FSI 4.2 engine seems like a small bump from 335 hp in current engine
