Look at the Auto Bild test between the ML320CDI and the Lexus RX400h Hybrid. The diesel ML easily beat the Lexus as far as fuel economy and would be less expensive without the battery pack etc.
That's not really fair, the RX330 petrol also beats the RX400h (or at least comes pretty darn close) [:0]
