[QUOTE="DaveinOKC, post: 1797254, member: 1656"] The big problem is that ours and the EU emission standards for diesels don't match. We have a higher standard for NOX or something like that, so for them to bring their diesel cars to the states the emission controls have to changed/added to which lower fuel mileage and raise the cost of the cars. I would love to have access to all the diesel Toyota trucks, a diesel Ford Focus and a diesel Ford Kuga and many more. I have driven a diesel Focus in the previous generation and it is night and day different than the gasser. The diesel was actually smoother running, got amazing fuel mileage and pulled a lot better with all the additional torque. Maybe GM doing the diesel Chevy Cruze will finally get Ford to offer one in the Focus or the new Escape in the states. Now if we could ever get diesel back under the price of gas like it was before the switch to low sulfur diesel. Dave [/QUOTE]
