If just a fraction of all the internet forum fanboys that have been pleading for diesels actually went out and bought one, then I think you'd see many more car makers pushing to get their diesels to the US. But the way it is now, most Americans rather go with gasoline. |

I don't know why manufactures are so reluctant to sell diesels here. Jeep at a limited run of diesel Grand Cherokees and Liberties (IIRC, 5000 units each) and they sold out in a matter of months.

The MINI is already accused of being grossly overpriced. The D would ultimately fail in the US and lose money for BMW/MINI. The Jetta TDI is big enough to be a really practical vehicle and gets poor gas mileage (under 30mpg) w/ the base engine. The MINI, w/ the base engine, gets near 40 highway. At this point, you really start getting into diminishing returns.
