diesels in the US

[Elie Spiesel]

For those of you interested in the absence of diesel Audis
in the US, the NY Times had an article this weekend.  The
basic idea was that 1) Americans have little interest in fuel
economy due to cheap gas; 2) there is no price advantage to
diesel in the US unlike in Europe where there are lower taxes
on diesel; and 3) tight diesel particulate emission standards
make it unlikely that manufacturers are going to put a lot of
work into certifying cars with little demand.
