"Will there be a DIESEL model in the 2001 model line-up?
No.
DIESEL models will NOT be sold in Canada for the 2001 model year. Due to the variance in the diesel fuel quality sold in Canada (cetane value, sulfur content, level of contaminants) the Mercedes-Benz direct injection diesel engines (CDI) cannot be certified to comply with Canadian emissions standards. Our plans for future offerings of diesel models depend on any Canadian legislation that will require improved diesel fuel quality, an issue that is out of our control.
