As you would expect, though, they did it badly. Additionally, diesel wasn't (still isn't) available everywhere gas was sold, so Americans didn't latch onto the idea. Environmentalists did all they could at the same time to kill it. With so many forces against it, it died. We'll see how/if Detroit reacts this time. Roman,

I always wondered why Big3 don't adopt diesel which got a very good traction in Europe. Especially Chrysler (back to its marriage with Mercedes) could capitalize on this technology. Interesting what others car makers will do in this regard. Wow! I always wondered why Big3 don’t adopt diesel which got a very good traction in Europe.
