Blu tech E class wagon?

Greetings,

For the last couple of years, I have heard rumours of an E Class wagon with a diesel engine being brought to th US. Does anyone have any confirmation or info on if this may happen.

Now that diesels are becoming fashonable n the US, is it possible to hope we may get a larger displacement Euro version? (in any body style)

Yeah, this cruel rumor was even published in STAR magazine However, it's my understanding that there are no wagons imported to the USA any any longer, regardless of fuel source

Actually MBUSA in its lack of wisdom thinks all we want is 4Matic wagons, with V6.

Not true, you can order a E350 4M wagon or an E63 AMG wagon in the US. But no "wagon" except for the R320.

The R-class is a large wagon. They won't offer an E-class diesel wagon, the last one sold here was the 1987 300TD.
