Well if they're going to do a truth in numbers re-name of the S320 CDI for America it would be S300 CDI since the new diesel V6 CDI engine is 3.0L in size. A S350 CDI doesn't make sense imo, but stranger things have happened. I think they should keep the V6s confined to the C,E,ML and R-Classes and bring over the V8 S420 CDI to the U.S. market. Leave the 6-cylinder S-Class up to the V6 hybrid model shown on the autoshow circuit this year, the S320 CDI Bluetech or Direct (?) something. M |

You mean you guys don't get one? Surprising. I though diesels were popular everywhere but the U.S. M |

The cost of diesel, the stigma associated with it (i.e smelly, and having to fill up at the dirty pump), and the fact that the market is generally unaware of how superb the latest generation of diesel engines actually are. VW have been doing well with the new diesel golf though, and Merc do have plans to introduce several new diesels, but no word if the S will get one. I doubt it will. |
