I figured the Ampera would be an even bigger flop than its North American sibling. It has too many small, economical diesels as competition in Europe.

Why aren’t they selling more diesels here?...........Americans still remember the GM debacle of the 80’s with the diesels that were made from gasoline blocks.................

Yeah...why get that Chevy when (at least here in the Czech Republic) I can get a Škoda Octavia 2.0 TDI that gets right about 50 mpg? They run about $25,000 brand new.
And better yet, made right here in the Czech Republic.
