It is hillarious these high-performance high fuel efficiency European style diesels are against EPA regulations. It is an example of how US regulations mandate Americans will have second rate products.

The US regulations on Diesel car emissions were actually considerably more stringent that European regulations at the time when these cars were built. The difference has narrowed since then, as I understand it, but the US regulations are still tighter than in Europe.

It is the California requirements that knock diesel out.

There are so many different brands of diesels in Europe.

We are crippled and stymied as a country.

I have an Audi diesel.

It's the most fun, AND gas efficient car I've ever driven.

I was once cruising at 90, getting 45 mpg. I wanted to have a sign as I blew past all the Prius owners.

If they expect me to get this thing "fixed", they're out of their freaking minds........
