Interesting, they should do the same thing with a 240D, the numbers comparison 
would be more impressive.
Imagine if they used a smaller engine, 48mpg should be a baseline relatively 
easy to beat, I don't need 205hp, I'm doing just fine with 72, if they brought 
it down to 100hp shouldn't mileage go up?

Never sold in the US.  No idea about Canada.

The article says 204HP and 368lb/ft of torque.  That is the same as my 
E320 CDI!!!  I read about that engine a while back, and they are really 
figuring out how to shove all that power into a small engine!!


BTW, the CDI hit 100k last week!

make, and were they ever sold in USA or Canada?
(I'm thinking I'd want a mechanically sound drivetrain donor car for no more 
than $5000 or it wouldn't be feasible)
