So what 65 mpg diesel engine does the Canadian version use then? (And the VW's and other Europeon diesel models) I really don't know what the problem with having these new super efficient low emission diesels in the USA. They more than surpass our toughest emission laws. I think it's just a phobia of diesels being the stinky, noisy, smoke belching engines of yester-year preventing them from being sold here.
Actually, they don’t all surpass them. See the lack of diesels we had in 2007.
Euro pollution standards for cars is actually a lot looser than those of the US.
Canada’s emissions standards are also looser than the US’s. Heck, they allowed Russian-made Lada Nivas there.
