A VW with a small turbo diesel cruising at 70 on the interstate gets far in excess of 40 mpg. The Germans are going to bring in their small diesels and raise hell in the market.

The small turbo diesel will prevail adequately to disrupt the market. BMW,Mercedes, and VW building in the south will capture enough of the market to destroy Detroit.

American diesels are made by truck and machine companies engine who are so far behind on technology they will never catch up.

Ford,too is probably happy that the Edsel and the Pinto are no longer the biggest zonker of all time.

Ford is having a Jimmuh Carter moment.

Not to worry, they’ll start up again in five years to produce one sample that the then ex-POTUS Obama had promised to purchase.
