    Stuttgart, Germany – Mercedes-Benz has announced the world’s latest and cleanest diesel engine, which will be available exclusively in Canada and the U.S. in the new R320, ML320 and GL320 BlueTEC models with AdBlue. The new models will be available in Canada in the fall of 2008.

    So diesels need the complicated urea injection just to meet average T2B5 requirements? The Prius is still many times cleaner, especially with NOx and PM10

    A coworker picked up a MB R320 CDI last year and was not very impressed with the fuel economy. I've noticed that MB Canada was claiming at one time around 40 MPG highway, now they claim 34 highway

    Still, a nice station wagon. He ordered his with the optional Airmatic DC air suspension, it soaks up the Winnipeg potholes and frost heaves just fine

    Yep. The current E320 BlueTec doesn't have AdBlue :confused:. It will this year when the rest of the BlueTec line arrives.

    Honda's diesel (i-DTEC) won't need urea to meet T2B5 emission standards.
