My dealer said that they will have the 3.0d model available sometime this year between October and December. I went there yesterday and formally had him write my order so that I will get their 1st allocated car. I can't wait.

I am going to skip the 3rd seat. I am planning on including premium and sport packages. Your comments are welcome on these options!

I would like to hear from some 3.0d owners outside of the US with comments.

Thanks!!

Can you order the E70 diesel in the US with a manual gearbox? I have a '05 man' diesel, you won't be disappointed. They go like the clappers and sip at the fuel.
