Europeans on the other hand think Diesel's a great fuel for people who make commutes and don't really care about how their car drives or it's throttle response. That's why you have lots of TDI's outside of America. Anyways, the problem with those models is that they have had exactly zero interest from the american public. Of course they're not exactly popular anywhere else either.
