The urea-injected Bluetec diesel with debut in the GL, R, and ML class, which would all be 50 state compliant in 2008. Still, an improved engine, if you don't happen to live in CA.

Yep - the ML Blutec will arrive in early 2007. No urea injection - yet... I think they are planning on bringing it in as well, ASAP. but they are working on that as well.
Oh, and all of these new diesels will NOT have CDI or diesel badging - only blutec, to help distance the car from the notion we American's have about the dirty, noisy, stinky diesels. So if you see a Merc that's labelled CDI, it's not a Blutec.
