They are getting more and more popular in europe mostly due to MPG, true. And treated well they can live almost as long as mid-class gasoline engines.

I just don't like the sound and "roughness" that you feel when driving a diesel-powered car. It just feels a bit like driving a truck.


Have you driven a 2004+ Silverado? My truck is quiter and smoother than most gas engines I've driven. Diesel engines last longer, make more power and get better mileage.

It's pretty funny to smoke a Mustang in a huge 2500 HD pick up!

That was 30 year ago. Times different now. I do not see any problem with offering a diesel engine. Just might they offer the V8 and V6.
