[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 913111, member: 12952"] check out Europe's cars. 60% are diesels and most have turbos. Something that our vehicles lack. Having followed several car/truck forums in the past few years, there is a demand for a small diesel pickup, mostly for the mileage but like myself many want all the extra ft-lbs of torque.
