The Diesel ML is coming.
 Just got a look at our new 2007 Dealer Ordering Guide today. 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.

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?

"ML420 BLUETEC 302 hp 516 lb-ft 4.0L V8 CDI (OM629 DE40 LA) (225 kW)"
*Drool* If only they offered a G420 CDI under $100,000...

So its safe to say Mercedes is going for big fender bulges for all their cars in 2007 or what? Looks nice, but gets kinda ridiculous when they have it on everything, reminds me of the new Mazda RX8 and MX5. Used to be reserved for things like the 500E but then it was nice and subtle.
