That said, the diesel would make sense for many American Mercedes-Benz buyers, but I doubt we will see a diesel anytime soon. If Mercedes were to invest the money in federalizing the powertrain, they would offer it across the CLA-Class line as well, and I have not heard reputable rumors of an upcoming diesel CLA for the U.S. market.
you're right, no one actually needs a luxury car, we all just want one.
at least with this being a diesel it makes it a want that's easier to keep around, less of a burden.
That's a good question, I know the demand for diesels is their, but haven't seen anything on paper that they would want a german diesel. MB should do a survey
I read an article the other day that said GLK diesel models comprise nearly 30% of all U.S. market GLK sales...so there certainly is a market! Bring on the GLA Bluetec!
within the german brands they seem to offer diesel options. not all the japanese brands carry them
