I spoke to a MB rep at the NY auto show about this very issue and he informed me that it hasn't been decided if MBUSA will bring in cars with this feature (option) to the US market. If they did that they would probably sell more E class to enthusiasts and they wouldn't want that now would they...I guess 18% sales decreases are okay for them as they were in March.

Yes, it is coming. Probably next model year. Development for US market is typically done after ECE market and therefore there is a delay. Or so I'm told. Changes are required to the suspension to fit 18 inch wheels (without airmatic).
