The Diesel ML is coming.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There are 2 new ML's being released this fall as 2007 models. The ML63 AMG and the ML320CDI. There are no offical prices released yet but, the 320 should have the new 224hp / 510nm V-6 CDI Diesel. Looks like signs of life at the old MBUSA. I better get on the waiting list for mine!!. ![]() I can't wait!!!! DR.D

The actual specs for the 320 bluetec V6 are around 211 hp and 540Nm of torque from as low as 1600 rpm.
The GL(not ML) should achieve 26 mpg highway.

According to the May Car & Driver the Bluetec should be 50 state legal for the '08 model year. It is still pending approval.

I saw the GL450 at the Minneapolis Auto Show last weekend, and I liked both the interior and exterior styling very much. The talking head there spoke of no plans to make a diesel version (stateside) when I asked, however.
Is this information *really* new?
