C220 Bluetec for US
That's right, the C220 Bluetec shown in Geneva will be sold in all 50 states in late 2008. I will post more as I find out, such as whether it will be available as Sport and/or Luxury models, and what transmission(s) it will be available with. Fuel consumption is 5.5l / 100km = 43 mpg.
As the model is sold in Germany now it can be had with either a 6MT or 5AT, with 170hp, 295 lb-ft torque (@2000 rpm), and uses less fuel.

Looks like aluminium. Way cool
Or is it just in the picture it looks like this?
I already order graphite grey, but I think I still can change since my built date is not final.

Wow I love that colour. I'll get my W204 C220 CDI Aut. in October and it will replace my W211 E220 CDI. I wonder when that bluetec version will be out?? Does anyone know?

+1. Diesel produces decent torque. My car is getting serviced at the dealer and they gave me an '07 E320 Bluetec as a loaner. It's a turbodiesel with 388 lb-ft torque.. there's a little lag when you slam the pedal before the turbo works, but after that it pulls pretty nice.

I think I paid 3.60 a gallon last time I filled on premium, and diesel was 2.99, i'd much rather have a diesel, actually there is no reason not to own one.
