They have 4matic Diesel C, E, and S classes in Germany...I'm sure if they offered the awd diesels in North America they would be selling like mad. A C320 CDI 4Matic would be soooo nice

The Mercedes Benz marketing mavens think differently than you, that the diesels are not accepted to the same degree by American buyers as they are in Europe, where diesels account for about 60% of passenger sedan sales.

Fuel is SO expensive in Europe that diesels are very accepted as a way to lower the cost of running the car.

Americans by comparison are spoiled by what fuel costs here, and many of them drive gas guzzlers and huge SUVs and pickup trucks as though fuel was actually free.

Some US states have ultra strict emissions which diesels can't pass because of NoX, though the Bluetecs address this and will soon be legal.

Americans in general don't care much for diesel cars, believing them to be as noisy as a bucket of clacking castanets, so slow that they crawl on their hands and knees to 60 mph, and smelly and smoky.

Plus the General Motors 1970s -1980s with the 350 diesel, the disaster, gas engine that was supposed to run on diesel, was improperly engineered and tarred the diesel reputation in American cars ironically when about 75% of all Mercedes being sold in America were diesel models!

I am jealous with what is offered on other countries. I like the idea of a C-Class wagon with a 4-cylinder turbo engine and 4-Matic.......functional, efficient, and practical.
