one of the main reasons why we don't have diesels equiped cars as widely as in Europe dose, (and the rest of the world) is because:
1: North American Diesel is far lower in quality compaired to EU standards, our highest grade of "clean Diesel" is the lowest compaired to Europe.
2. you can thank americans also for not having them, as americans are slower to get on the band wagon for better milage cars, and
3. beacuse gas is so cheap to produce here, it's why the demand is not as high as it is in europe. we pay about 1/2 of what a european would for regular gas.
4. American perception of diesel engines and diesel tech is still set in the 1970's
