Nowadays it's a lot more about the the human psyche and marketing. Would you rather have a motor displacement of 3.4L or 3.5L? A battery capacity of 3300mAh or 3400mAh? Pay for an item with a cost of $5.99 or $6.00? The best was in the late 60s/early 70s when some US muscle cars' HP was greatly understated by the manufacturers. My favorite being the L88 '67 Corvette.
I have a coworker that has a GLE350, he thought it was a 6 cyl. Most people have no idea what kind of engine the car has, they buy the 350 because thats what the dealer has.
Having driven the 350 and 450 the 450 transforms whatever product its in. Honestly? In a GLE or GLS I don't think I would get the 580 because the 450 is that good.
I'm sure not, but its a feel and refinement thing.
sounds like he's 'normal' then lol... in which case i'd agree it could be perceived as a V6 during everyday casual use
for anything else however it's noticeable, and once the initial turbo spool up phase is over there really isn't much performance anymore in such a heavy SUV
There we have it.
1. MB achieved what they wanted people to perceive their naming.
2. This I4 is sufficient enough for people to think so.
Win win situation.

Got a newish Corolla for a loaner while I get my LX bumper repaired. I must say, for someone who just wants high quality, cheap transportation it delivers in spades. It's slow but not as slow as I thought it would be. I'm irritated because they were behind and the two people who walked in AFTER me got Expeditions, they just got lucky bc Enterprise is always behind. I really wanted to see what the Ecoboost is all about but I got stuck with this tin can.
I hate it but it's really not bad at all. For someone who doesn't give a crap about cars and just wants something cheap, good, and reliable to get around this is a great little car.
