AMG Diesel

I figgured this story may be interesting to some of you. I was reading my copy of Autoweek, when I came to a story regarding Mercedes' plan of building an AMG Diesel. Of course it os for Europe only, as of now. Anyone out there think it's coming stateside? Personally, I doubt it. We've had a hard enough time getting the A-Class over here, [Which may be here by 2004].
