If our Government would stop dicking around with our Diesel Fuel, we would have had a lot more turbo diesel based cars several years ago.

It is not the fuel but the calibration of emissions and the differences between here and Europe.

Americans talk a good game, they say they want them, and when they get here they do not buy them. I do not blame them for not bringing them.

IMHO watch for 2 advancements that will make diesels boat anchors, google them both.

1.) Homogenous Continous Compression Igniton HCCI and...

2.) Gaseous Fuels, ( watch AU and NZ in particular...)

Right and the Enviro crap starting in the 80’s crammed down Detroit's throat instead of letting technology be developed to meet the goals without us paying the price of the patchwork fixes to meet some misguided rullings
