If only Mazda would bring their diesels here without teasing us for the better part of a decade first.

Means absolutely nothing, I saw the Mazda 6 diesel at the 2013 autoshow and as we know the diesel never ended up coming... so like many said, until the cars show up on dealer lots the autoshow is meaningless... I also saw a Mercedes C300 Bluetec wagon last year at the autoshow... and well that never ended up coming either

Interesting about the Benz. It'll come in 2018 then I think. For 2017, they needed to catch up with stricter CARB/EPA since dieselgate.

I hope so, I was shocked/excited when I saw it. They haven't offered the c class wagon since the w203 model, and now, 10 years later it looks like they want to offer the wagon again with a diesel! Guess they want to dig into the 328d wagon market, though I'm not sure how well it will sell...
