Last MB Diesel Auto?

What was the last year & model diesel Mercedes Benz automobile sold in North America? What was the last diesel wagon offered? Did any recent models (within the past 20 or so years) offer a standard transmission (besides the 240)? Is a diesel still sold in Europe?
I know the 2.5 & 3 litre diesels are widely regarded as outstanding engines, but for some reason the 3.5 litre is regarded as an engine to avoid. Why? What year & models used the 3.5? (No, I don't own a 3.5)
Also,what other diesel automotive engines did MB make? What are the most reliable?
Thanx for helping me brush up on my Mercedes knowledge. As a recent convert to dieseldom, (83 300D; my second Mercedes & first diesel) I appreciate this ShopForum & your individual input.
