It's not coming for 2013, but I hope it's part of the facelifted W212 line up for 2014. It's a no-brainer for Canada.

2012 S350 Bluetec 4Matic, Diamond White, P2
I Think this was a miscalculation by MB. The E is the only diesel not offered with 4Matic in the US. MB has to have each powertrain combination for each model EPA certified. It is expensive to do. They should have just made all of the Bluetecs 4Matic IMO. I really like the S350 Bluetec 4Matic.

Yes, the passat and jetta are 2WD too in the US. I was referring to MB's diesels, although I do not think I was as clear as I could have been.
