Doesn't it?

Please?...
Exactly, that was the idea. US gets the gas guzzlers at launch whilst us Europeans get the sensible models. If the X50i had been available from launch in the UK then I would have found it impossible to resist (coming from an ML63), but I guess it will be a new experience for me to own a diesel, so we'll see how I like it.
