My brother-in-law has the ML55 - pointless as heck, but unbelievably fun to drive. A car that large shouldn't be able to do the things that the ML can do.

it's automatic.

i would like a g wagen maybe if i could find one with a good diesel and stick tranny.

those with big v8 and mega leather and gadgets don't appeal to this ol' farm boy at heart.

rumbly diesels and stick trannys are for work. work is good.

Correct, NY and CT also.

I don't get that, MB of North Haven has a bunch of CDI's on there lot?? Maybe they are just ignoring that stupid law?

CT is not on the list, but MA, NH and VT are. CDIs are legal to be sold in CT.

AND I got an email from MB of North Haven a few weeks ago that they are getting one of the first newly produced G Wagon CDIs in next week.......but when I emailed back with a request for the price, I got the we'll see about demand. I can't believe it wasn't presold.

Is it a G or a GL? GL's are like a bloated ML.

They are a top notch dealer, I have never delt with the sales side. But the parts and service side is first rate. They always seem to have at least one or two E320CDI's in stock.

That must be a relatively new developement because as recently as last year you could not purchase a new VW TDI in the state (I was looking for a Jetta wagon). They could sell you any used diesel with over 7000 miles on it, but any less than that or new they couldn't.

I know the Blue-Tecs are supposed to be CA emissions (thus NY, MA and CT) legal, but I didn't realize that some of the CDI's must be. Although with the G Wagon it might very well be through a light truck exemption.

I'm hoping to get my hands on a diesel Honda Odyssey for the wife when they finally make them. Maybe there's some hope!
