FOUR WHEELING forums are hilarious! The folks there just love diesels as though they were Lynda Carter during the Wonder Women years in the nude! LOL!
If you go to all the other 2,346 auto/truck forums in the US you'll find one common denominator...DIESEL SUCKS!
I can just imagine a diesel:
Subaru Forrester
Mistu EVO
Cadillac Escalade
Ford Taurus
Chevy Corvette
NOBODY in the US wants diesel...nobody wants or expects diesel as a solution for 2025 Cafe. Only about 8% diesel is planned for 2025 Cafe.
What do Toyota Tundra owners want? Their 5.7L 0-60 in 6.5 seconds. They don't want a smelly expensive diesel that does it in 8.5 seconds. WON'T SELL!
SO IH8MUD DOESN'T COUNT. You may think you do but you don't. If YOU want diesel...go buy one. Don't tell the USA new car buyers it's better...they don't buy it. Pun intended. When there's MORE diesel rigs being sold in the US compared to gas then you can tell me I'm nuts.
