Just so we all know what MBUSA is keeping from us, here is the current
line-up of what M-B offers in Germany:
E-Class -
E200 CDI (2.1 L 4 cyl)
E220 CDI
E280 CDI (3.0 L V6)
E280 CDI 4Matic
E320 CDI (3.0 L V6)
E320 CDI 4Matic
E420 CDI (4.0 L V8)
then gassers from E200 Kompressor to E63AMG!
(and that is only the sedans; the station wagons (T-models) skip the E200
CDI)
S-Class -
S320 CDI
S320 CDI 4Matic
S350
S420CDI
S450
S450 4Matic
S500
S500 4Matic
S600
S63AMG
We in the USA could save a lot of imported oil if MBUSA would work to get
us
some of these CDI cars!

you wrote about the corp avg fuel economy levels (CAFE) -
It always makes me think that the avg fuel economy could improve by
25%-35% if more diesels were sold. I hate to have the govt involved in
anything so I won't suggest the govt mandate 50% diesel engine equipped
vehicles but it would go a long way to reducing our national use of fuel.
I
read recently that over 50% of all new cars sold in Europe were diesel
engine equipped and the Mercedes S Class sold in Europe sees ~75%
equipped
with diesel engines. While I'm not an advocate of following European
trends, etc., these might be something to consider.
I'm sure everyone realizes a 25%-35% reduction in fuel usage would be
a
huge amount of fuel!
