Our friends over at - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER are reporting today about an S350 CDi being tested in the United States.

Is this a hint that we can expect to see the model introduced in the U.S. market in the near future?

It's difficult to say. The hybrid S-Class has been seen testing in the United States, as well as the B-Class. So far, we haven't even heard rumors these cars will released here, and with the hybrid S-Class, anywhere for that matter.

On the other hand, if Mercedes did decide to expand their diesel lineup in the states, the S-Class would be, at least in my opinion, one of the best candidates.

We'll be sure to keep you posted if we hear anything new.

is that a 320 cdi then just being re badged 350 cdi like they are doing with the 500 and 550?

Anything is possible with Autolies, but since the engine will be released in the US it might be real.

Maybe this is a new Turbo Diesel in that case..it will kick arse.. the 320cdi is allready pretty powerfull

but i dont think they would put the badge on it and drive it around already when sales of the 320cdi started only yesterday.....

But maybe this wont be a replacement for the 320cdi.. maybe it will be like BMW 530d and 535d ??

may be, i thought the current 320cdi should have its name changed to 350 to match the petrol ha, but if they do a 350cdi then what is going to happen to the 400 or 420cdi?

350 will be a V6 and the 400 CDi will be replaced by the 420 CDI and thats a V8..
Ohh and there is rumors about a V10 BMW diesel... and a rumour for a V12 S600 CDI --

When is the Diesel V6 that Debuted in the Vision SLK going to be produced. I wanna see that!

That hybrid one?? if so they said late 06.. but wasent that shown on the W221.-hehe im confused now..
