| Re: diesel sales up 31% and MBUSA announces 3 diesel SUVs roberthelfrick - 6/2/2006 3:56 PM can't wait for 50 state. Should be late 2008. The Mercedes/Freightliner/Dodge Turbodiesel Sprinter is 50 state already, since 2004.   | ||

You can get a diesel Powerstroke, Cummins or Duramax in any state. You cannot get a passenger vehicle in the 5 moron states. According to my dealer, the GL is not going to be classified as a truck and therefore the CDI will not be available 50 state. I hate my state!  | |

| RE: diesel sales up 31% and MBUSA announces 3 diesel SUVs Roch207 - 6/4/2006 7:54 AM The Sprinter is 50 state because it is considered a truck. Its GVWR is over 8500 lbs that's why it falls into a different category. Here's the table with California LEV 2 from Dieselnet.  Looks like none of the new 2007 MB diesels can make it: not the E320 CDI BlueTec, nor ML 320 CDI or R320 CDI. | ||

| RE: diesel sales up 31% and MBUSA announces 3 diesel SUVs Here are the EPA numbers, also from Dieselnet. A car or truck under 8500 lbs has to comply to TIER II Bin 5 in order to make it to California.  Edited by Wolfgang 6/4/2006 12:30 PM | ||

| RE: diesel sales up 31% and MBUSA announces 3 diesel SUVs Roch207 - 8/2/2006 1:12 PM Wolfgang - 6/4/2006 2:46 PM Anyone know who made the mystery vehicle? http://www.solarhouse.com/resources/EPAdiesel.pdf If I had to guess, I know Jeep is using the 2.8 lt diesel in the Liberty and will be using it in the Wrangler for export. I gues syou could call the liberty a small wagon. Sounds like an independent, non factory related orgranization were running car E. They could be using a modified International diesel. That's a 2.8 liter in the Liberty alright, but doesn't have enough power to be a contender. "E" has 150 kW or 201 hp.. My guess is that the independant organization is FEV who ran vehicle D, the Audi A4 diesel. Hmmm, the mystery. Edited by Wolfgang 8/2/2006 8:35 PM | ||

| Re: diesel sales up 31% and MBUSA announces 3 diesel SUVs Ed Mclass - 8/4/2006 4:47 PM JEEP is dropping the LIBERTY diesel for 2007. True. It's a Bin 10 diesel, and for 2007+ Bin 8 is required, like for the JGC diesel and ML320 CDI.  Edited by Wolfgang 8/5/2006 5:57 PM | ||

| Re: diesel sales up 31% and MBUSA announces 3 diesel SUVs DUTCH - 10/20/2006 2:15 PM ABenzGuy - 10/16/2006 11:08 AM Found out from another Benz Forum that the '07 ML320CDI is now on the MBUSA web site. As of this morning. Look at the torque on this beast! More than the ML500! Test drove one today. Very nice vehicle. More damned whistles and bells that are really necessary. I wonder how the availability of ULSD is. My local station dispenses ULSD for a month now. Only problem is that MB doesn't sell diesels in California yet.   sticker on ULSD pump | ||
