Mercedes's brand new Blutec diesel engine failed to pass the infamous California and New York emissions test. As such it won't be sold in those states.

Last year, it was Audi TT that failed to meet CA emissions test before the current redesign.

If Mercedes can't meet CA emissions standard, how will Chinese pass them?

EuroIV doesn't cut it in California and New York.

Wow heres me thinking Bluetec was going to be clean.

Was the TT tested a diesel ?

No, gasoline engine, both turbo and V6.

2007 model year vehicles met the standard, but 2006 vehicles didn't.
