we all know the story regarding CDI for the US market.

But this article talks about the direct injection 350 engine in "late 2008". Where? It is supposedly not coming to the US until 2010 at the earliest.

I think the CGI would be more expensive over the standard V6

At least for the CLS that is the case.
