But not on the same engine which is a dieselMercedes used a super charger with a turbo years ago, so nothing new there.

So no news from the Tokyo show? LA show is Dec 1. I haven't heard anything from a dealer.
I'm expecting an announcement in the next month or two.
Happened to be able to spend some time with some Execs @ MNAO and it sounds like they're excited to finally launch the Diesel.
Did they advise why the delays (uhm)
Could also be due to supply issues or government regulationsDelays typically mean something is not ready.
To get something ready, changes must be made.
Changes made after deadlines are passed are typically not what engineers originally had in mind , or...it would be done originally.
This chain of logic further sours the idea of the cx5 d to me.
Could also be due to supply issues or government regulations
Supply of what?
Have regulations changed lately?
Color me suspicious.
the delay has zero to do with supply issues.
The short answer to the question is: blame VW.
the approval process for the EPA and C.A.R.B. (CA where MNAO is headquartered) has gotten absolutely ridiculous in the wake of the VW emissions scandal.
Basically USA regulations.
yup.
we're good at getting in our own way.
Hopefully we'll see it in the next 60 days as a 2018 model
It will be time to worry, if they announce the 2018 model without including the diesel.
