I can’t wait to get me one of the new ‘euro style diesels. Oceans of torque, sub 7 0-60, and 40+ mpg. Sign me up! Shame though that so many Americans are prejudiced against diesel thanks to the horrific engines GM foisted on them a generation ago.

Thankfully, most young people do not remember those monstrosities!..............

For me it was the Mercedes Diesel engines. They spewed black smoke and were noisy.
