They started making them again in 2005. I will still let everyone else try
these things to prove them because in the middle seventies there were
glorifying articles just like this one. I think I will go look at one just
to see what they are like out of curiosity. They are only about 50 g so the
price isn't too bad. -- Bill --
This off the net.
"Mercedes plans to make only 3,000 of the CDIs available this year. It's my
belief that those will last as long as a snowball in July so trot to your
dealer instantly. But there is a rub. Even a diesel engine this clean is not
sold in California, New York, Massachusetts, Maine or Vermont."

And if your not if California, you can get Mercedes SUV and Jeep's with
Diesels. My brother lives in oregon and drove his family down in his Jeep
Cherokee and it was nice, hardly could tell it was a Diesel. VW also has the
bug I think too, like the VW v10 twin turbo diesel maybe be 5L??
(320+hp/550tq) in the Toureg, but it is crazy priced and I think my have
only been in CA for 1 year. Likely Audi derived. I drive a 7.3L Powerstroke
in an Excursion and it is anchient compaired to the 2 generations that came
after, which make way more power and have less cubes. The downside is they
(Diesels) typically cost more, especially in trucks. I don't think you ever
make back the milage saving $$ vs. Engine cost (over gasoline) but the
Diesel is hard to beat for towing. It is also very relaxing to drive with
the rumbling of the motor...
Check out some past Lemans and see how the diesels did, pretty amazing.
Sadly here in the states we are only just getting some of the good ones
unless you drive a truck...
