The mentioning about a supercharged 1.4-l motor led me to believe that Daimler was perhaps going to outsource this specific engine from Volkswagen. That seems an unlikely scenario though - even though past Mercedes (and European Chrysler) products have used VW engines such as the V-Klasse 2.8 for example.

Report: Mercedes-Benz C-Class, GLK Won't See U.S. Production



By Nelson Ireson, Author
September 23rd, 2009


Earlier today reports emerged of Daimler officials speaking with a German newspaper about Mercedes-Benz considering production of the C-Class sedan in the U.S., confirming a similar report from July of last year at the launch of the GLK crossover. But further digging by the High Gear Media team has uncovered a source from within Mercedes that says the Vance, Alabama plant up for C-Class production didn't get the bid.

No explanation was given for the decision, and it's still not yet official, but don't expect to see GLKs or C-Class sedans rolling out of the Vance production line any time soon.
