When the new Bluetec's get released, 7 Eastern states will only be able to lease the diesels, not buy. The lease details I believe were 2 years/24k miles @ $600/month. This is so far for the E320 Bluetec, not sure if it will apply to the other diesels being released.

Leave it up to the U.S. to screw up a good thing. Let`s see, give a complete tax write off on a Range Rover that gets 14 mpg (I know this because my dad pissed away 70k on one 2 months ago) or put into to place all kind of restrictions on a car that will 40 mpg. yep, that sounds bout right. I hope that gets changed. Thats for the info however, both of you guys.

I asked several dealers aout the C with the BlueTech and none of them seemed to be sure what the plan was. I would be interested, but I'm not willing to wait.

The dealers don't get any info until the public knows. They keep all this stuff very private. But a diesel is likely for the US market, just I wouldn't expect next year.

We'll know for sure once the auto shows get underway. If they debut a C320 Bluetech at L.A. or Detroit or New York then you can expect it for the 2009 model year.
