50+mpg for 2009
Is this article true and will these models come to the US?
Bluetec E-Classes will arrive in European showrooms from December, and now Mercedes has revealed the technology will go into the C-Class from 2009. Two models will be available, a C250 returning 57.7mpg fuel economy, and a C300 hybrid with 61.4mpg.

2008 C-350 Palladium Silver and MM.
I saw that information as well, but nobody from MB is commenting on the US market. I would love to test drive one of the new Bluetech C's!

MB had hoped to expand Bluetec from the E into the other CDI models (ML, GL, R) for 2008 as well as adding a C Bluetec. Now it seems the C will be delayed until 2009, coming in as a 2010 model. It was to be nearly identical to the vision C Bluetec shown earlier this year, based on the C220 CDI sold in Europe.

Diesel C
Just last week one of our local MBUSA reps told me that when a diesel C shows up here as an '09 model, it will be a four cylinder. Well, 2.2 diesels have already been reviewed in the Euro mags and the 2.2 is not very satisfactory. Noisy and slow. Why we can't have the sold-everywhere-else C V-6 Bluetec is still a mystery to me.
Sinking feeling.

<<Sorry, but that's plain garbage. (I'm in the UK, BTW)>>
Seeing as how you bought one, there's just the tiniest chance......
I suggest you go to germancarzone.com, go to forums and then C-Class and read it for yourself.

Are you sure you are referring to the latest revision of the 220 engine that came out this year? It is much more powerful, quieter, and more economical than the previous version. I have had the pleasure of trying one and I can say it is by no means noisy or slow.

Is it as refined as the V6 diesel? Not quite, but the difference is small. And it's neither slow nor noisy.

I don't know if I would have ended up buying it, but I sure would have given it every considereration. Diesel seems like a much more sustainable technology to me then the hybrid tech, which only looks good if you ignore the beginning and the end of the lifecycle.

60mpg is nothing to the japanese. 09 prius is already looking at 80mpg.

Well, exactly the same reason why there is a C350 next to the E350, and a E550 next to the S550. Different people have different priorities... more power vs. more space. Based on the needs of my new family, I may need to move to a E-class next.

true but in Norway the c200 is about 60,000 Nok cheaper, this means you can tick more option box's, if you spend about 10,000 Nok with Carlsson for a CD20 Power Box you get all the missing hp's back.
