What happened to the SLK320CDI tri-turbo that was supposed to come out?

Fail who wants a diesel in a convertable? Than you would be choking on sooty exhuast all the time.
I like that SLK, drove an SLK350 not to long ago. Its a chick car but fun to drive none the less.

Still don't want a diesel in a sports car.
Not when MB's 3.5L V6 is so good.

Don't like the R8, Lambo wannbe.
In that car I wouldn't mind a diesel since its not a drop top.

I'd love a whiff of diesel while riding in an open car... but as previously mentioned, their styling failure and their number-of-cylinders failure lost my interest.

I have a 4cylinder engine in my honda that puts out more hp than most v8's Number of cylinders is not a fail per say. But the engineering behind it.

I'd love to have one and would drive it as much as I possibly could...looks fantastic to me. I don't mind how many cylinders it has. If it can perform like it mentions, no pun intended, but more power to them.
