Mercedes-Benz unveil 2 varients of the 2008 C-Class

Dieter Zetsche took the stage, unveiling to the world two new never-before-seen variants of the recently introduced 2008 C-Class: the Vision C 220 BLUETEC and the AMG-Mercedes C-Class DTM 2007.

Since the release date, more than 55,000 customers in western Europe alone have bought a new C-Class.

We predict the new C-Class will be a HIT here in the states as well. They need to bring the C220 Bluetec diesel over here to the Unites States as well. I have no doubt there is a market for a C-Class Diesel.

"The sophisticated four-cylinder diesel engine with BLUETEC emission control is a prime example of leading-edge, future-compatible technology, Our diesel strategy is an effective answer to the question of how to save fuel and, therefore, CO2, how to further reduce all exhaust emissions including NOx and yet still ensure effortlessly superior driving enjoyment. In this respect, we believe our state-of-the-art diesel concept is currently the best and most efficient solution available." - Dieter Zetsche
