They’re illegal in CA and sales numbers for diesel cars just don’t really add up in the US, despite people claiming they’d pay any price for one.
Strangely, the state that buys the most diesel cars is... Texas.
I own a (German made) diesel that's legal in all 50 states.If the Germans can do it,Ford and GM can.And while it's true that diesel sales here are weak that could very well change (gradually,perhaps) when Americans discover that diesels are no longer slow,noisy of smokey...and that it's easy to find one (even sporty ones) that get 40+ mpg on the highway.
Why strange? Makes perfect sense to me.
slow,noisy of smokey = slow,noisy or smokey
