when do you think I can buy a BLUETEC Diesel in NY State?

So those in the know, when do you think I'll be able to buy one of the new MB Diesel vehicles here in NY State?

NY State has this 'stupid' [IMNSHO] law that negates sales or registration of new diesel passenger vehicles ... under the pretense of strick emissions laws I believe. [Ignoring the fact that the prevailing winds of the US blows much of the particulate pollution west of us, over and onto us.] With the expectation of the low-sulphur diesel that is supposed to hit the market, I suspect that may finally change for NY. I expect there will be a period where the 'old' diesel in the system 'contaminates' the new fuel, and the new vehicles may not take kindly to that.

So in what year (and month?) do you think I'll be able to buy a new efficient and clean MB diesel, both based on when the new low-sulpher fuel will be widespread (and uncontaminated), and when it will be 'permissible' by emissions laws here in NY to sell the diesels?

Thanx for your thoughts...
Steve
