2004 E320 CDI for the US

Hey,

I found this yesterday on GermanCarFans.com. No specs or prices were given, but the European E320 CDI make just over 200 HP and about 370 lb-ft, good for 0-100 km/h in 7.7 seconds. Now they just need to bring over the E400 V8 CDI...

I would assume California, New York, and Massachusetts is out of the picture. Not sure what the other two are. Couldn't you just buy the car in another state?

those 3 states for sure, perhaps NJ and CT also. You can't register a new non 50 state car in these states, but if you register it someplace else, you can then transfer it. But there may be some waiting period.

Diesel engines generate massive amounts of torque compared to gasoline engines, but produce much fewer horsepower. The 6-cylinder E320 CDI produces 30 lb-ft more torque than the V8 E500.

sl and M-class E320 4Matic SLK350
Will it be available with 4-Matic from the start?

Anyone heard one way or the other for sure? The listings I have seen so far don't mention 4Matic for the Diesel E class, even in Europe.
