In an SUV, its really no contest. The MB bluetec engine puts out an insane 455ft-lbs of torque from a mere 3L, and still gets 30mpg down the highway. The upcoming fiat diesel in the Jeep Grand Cherokee has similar performance. Not much point in a traditional big block V8 anymore. Big iron lost the horsepower war long ago, and with the new TDIs, torque isn't an issue either.
