I read an article that said they were planing on it.

It's our local Auto show this weekend, and I plan on attending tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing the new E Class up close. I've seen a couple on the roads and the drivers seem to be smiling. I take that as a hopeful sign.

I will be bummed if they don't import the 250D to the US. To me it seems like the spiritual successor to the 240D. A lot nicer though.

Edit: I just checked the MBUSA website and they have little blurb about the upcoming "E350 BlueTEC sedan". Sounds like they're continuing with their one Diesel engine fits all marketing strategy.
