Re: No Mercedes Diesel anymore for US market

That is horrible!
Does this impact the Sprinter Van program?

What a damned shame. The common rail diesel engines are so excellent. The value of my Audi diesel just increased, although it's not for sale!

Looks like the EPA and CARB are finally getting what they want. Make sure there are no viable alternatives in people's minds to the unofficial mandate towards electric cars.

Re: No Mercedes Diesel anymore for US market

Maybe they'll use the idle factory space to start producing some old Mercedes diesel and 460 parts and the prices for those of us maintaining their classics can get real. Maybe print us a few books that don't contradict each other like a room full of politicians.
