Just saw this on MSN

Canada Only C-Class Wagon

Can't wait to test drive the Diesel Wagon. Would love to get one!

Why is that the best part? My C300 Sport built in Alabama is built just as well as our GLC300 built in Bremen.

Hope all the bugs have been sorted out by now.

My E350 BlueTec easily gets 40 MPG and the E250BlueTec gets 50+MPG on the highway so the C300 Bluetec should get well over 50 or even 60MPG!

Honda's, Toyota's, Nissan and Lexus, just to name a few, build cars in the US. Many C class cars sold in Europe, are made in South Africa. To the guy who is excited the Estate won't be built in the US, may find it could be built in Africa.

Why is it a 300d in Canada when it seems to be the same engine as the c250d here in the UK?

I went to Montreal Auto Show earlier this week. There was a wagon C300 White. IMO the best colour for the wagon is bright colour such as Blue and Red.

Forgot to look the country of build

On this side of the pond, Diesel is not very popular thus we've got very limited.
And with the recent VW Diesel scandal it's made it even worse.

But I've switched over to Diesel vehicles since 2009 and have never looked back.

Once you've experienced the tremendous torque and great fuel economy + fantastic driving range you'll never go back.

I've been very impressed with the OM651 biturbo. 500 Nm (368 ft lbs) of torque out of a 2.1l 4 cyl. engine is terrific and Mercedes has said it's not even the peak possibility for this engine yet.

The only downside is the tractor sound and the bad stigma from their early Delphi injector dramas, but it has tremendous stump pulling power at low revs, plus a range of over 600 miles (1000Km) a tank.

I'm totally hooked on this motor. I'm about to get a RaceChip for mine as I'm keen to see what the engine can deliver - will report back after I've verified figures on the Dyno.

Probably same car that I saw in Montreal Auto Show. IMHO White is not the better choice for a wagon.

Agreed. I think a Blue colour would be quite nice.

WOW! That looks awesome!

The W205 C300 wagon looks much better than the BMW f30 328 touring.

C43 Wagon
Placed my order for a Brilliant Blue estate back in January for a March/April Delivery. However, due to the whole VW dieselgate scandal, Transport Canada is changing their emission testing procedures. So, every month the diesel gets more delayed whenever I ask the status, since MB doesn't know the standards yet because TC hasn't finalized things on their end. Now looking at end of September, early October, but it will be a 2017MY. No word on a discount or any compensation due to the delay.

Frustrated, to say the least.
