Great thread.
Best of both worlds: Diesel C-class. Look for them later this year as a 2013.
In the meantime: TDI Jetta or Passat. Me, I prefer the TDI Jetta, as I like to drive a stick.
I'm still po's that I saw that C-class diesels were so extremely common in Germany during my trip there a few years back, and we couldn't get them here.
Heck, in some markets, the diesel is a PERFORMANCE option - for example, the BMW120d & 123d in the UK.
It is also notable that gap between gasoline and diesel fuel prices has dropped, at least in my area.
