#NAIAS No mention of Mercedes' new king diesel sedan during today's press conference, but we got a few facts on it after the crowd had dispersed.
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz S350 Bluetec 4Matic goes on sale in late summer 2011. Benz officials tell us it will be priced similarly to the S400 Hybrid, which starts at $91,875, and will only come with all-wheel drive.
The power source is a familiar one -- a turbocharged and direct-injected 3.0-liter diesel V6 making 240 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque. A seven-speed automatic drives all four wheels through the 4Matic system.
