[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 916948, member: 22662"] No. If you would like to take it up here, fine. If diesels were to be profitable en masse in the U.S., we would have them. If the market for 48mpg cars were much larger than for 37mpg cars we would have them. But that is not the market in this country. Do you think that Ford doesn't bring diesels for any reason other than market forces of supply and demand? Government regulation? What? Ford engineers are not up to the task but VW engineers are? VW has built their demand (a niche as it were) over the years. Ford can and will do the same with the Eco-boost line. Frankly the technology, such as turbo charging and direct injection, are much the same as with diesels but the demand in the U.S. is more gasoline friendly. Again, does Ford care whether their vehicles run on gasoline or diesel? No. They care that they sell at a profit. [/QUOTE]
