Question V6 CDI USA Availability?



I'm sure this may have been asked before, but I can't find the answer using the search.

When will we see the newer V6 CDIs complete with the 7G-TRONIC state-side?

Sorry if this has been covered previously.

Low sulfur diesel fuel won't be widely available in the U.S. until 3/Q 2006. Consequently, the particulate filters standard in Europe can't be used in the U.S. W/O particulate filters, MBUSA cannot sell diesels in states like California and NY. Those are big markets.

I did see something about the possibility that the M-Class with the diesel being available late this year but only if MBUSA was willing to give up the California and NY markets for this diesel.

They would not have the particulate filters until low sulfur fuel became available.
