They're coming. At least from Daimler-Chrysler. I think others will jump on board in the next few years. As you know, ULSD was the hold-up, and we're getting it this year.
D-C can't build worth a damn, either, unfortunately.
If Ford, GM (ok, maybe not GM), Toyota or Honda could put diesels in smaller vehicles, I would buy from them and not VW, which has serious kwality control issues (yeah, VW put the "kw" in "quality").
