Can’t. That engine doesn’t meet US emissions standards.

The engine meets emission standards, the diesel we sell in the USA doesn’t meet the cars requirements.

The Ford fiesta is for sale in Canada as well.

Obama can fix this with an executive order.

I read an article about this last week. That article included several other fuel efficient cars made by US Auto Companies.

The price tag was the stated reason. These cars cost about $24,000 base price, and are not believed to be competetive against entry level vehicles costing at least 40% less.

But in Obamanation surely we can all just receive a $12,000 or more tax credit so everyone can have an O-car. It could even have that round symbol thingy on it.(sarc)
