Most mercs are just Renault's Thats the problem... it's all wibblepoo French tech
the new A class uses one renualt engine and its poo
and the citan van is basically a renault
the X class is based on a navara
and the rest of the mers are RWD/4WD which precludes them from being renaults which IIRC are predominatley wrong wheel drive.
being front or rear drive does not preclude the use of a certain engine, the new sprinters are FWD unless you spec LWB which are RWD only, that's still a 2143cc OM651, with a 9 speed auto or 6 speed manual.
sure the 2.3 in the X class is a Nissan lump just like the chassis, but the 3.0 is merc.
