You mean the BS that every place else in the world diesels are as plentiful as grains of sand?

Yea for sure.

KIA and Audi have concept vehicles out that are diesel powered.....Mercedes just announced their Bluetec C-class, 265hp 465tq and 40mpg....and VW is coming out with their next generation diesels, too.

Once mother EPA stops making the Kool-Aid maybe people will see how much better they are....but we need tighter regs on our fuel so these engines can operate here---our diesel is swill compared to the rest of the world.
