Diesel engines have been getting some serious flack lately, but Mercedes-Benz isn’t spooked. The German luxury titan has unveiled a new [2-liter four-cylinder diesel](<https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1102383_mercedes-unveils-next-generation-four-cylinder-diesel>), which will find a home in the next E-class sedan.

According to sources, Ford plans to bring back a smaller version of the beloved Bronco. Unfortunately, there’s still plenty of waiting: The [new Bronco](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/2204/the-ford-bronco-is-back>) isn’t expected to land until 2020.

**Gear**
