quote:I can't see that happening any time soon. The government is actively hindering the sales of diesel vehicles. There are so few diesel Jettas, Benzes, etc. and there is a reason for that. It is so expensive to get motors to comply with the dumb-arse US standards, and they end up being unreliable in the long run. Even now, diesel is just as expensive as premium fuel. These are the same people that would rather you to put ethanol in your tank than regular fuel.
Next step is small diesels in half ton trucks
It is a great idea, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I should clarify
The next step is small diesels in half ton trucks that are held to very early 90's emission standards, because you produce less bad shite when you burn less fuel.
ANYWAYS as much as it pains me to say it, ford really left everyone in the dust with the ecoboost. There's no excuse for all half ton trucks to not have 4 or 6 cylinder forced induction engines.
