A comment for 'True' diesel lovers...
Almost all auto manufacturers including the three US brands, have diesel cars and trucks sold all over the world except in the good ol' USA. They don't want to spend developement money to meet our often ridiculus emissions laws because they say there isn't a large enough market here. The reasons cited for low demand is that most of the USA's John Q. Public still think diesels are noisy, dirty (emissions wise), and smelly (fuel and exhaust wise). So... what are huge parts of the dialog about on this forum? What parts to buy or remove make our trucks louder and exhaust blacker. We could be driving 60 mpg Ford, GM, or Chrysler diesel cars but there's no market for them to import them to us. Just my $.02 Thanks.
