Yep. GM ruined/destroyed Diesel market in USA with the "Diesel" crap they
put in cars in late '70's and early '80's.

Umm - wrong. It's not the EPA, we can buy Diesels here now. Just go to
your
local MB dealer (or VW, etc,). It's the lack of an informed market here.
They're not going to bring cars over that they can't sell because the US
still thinks of the GM Diesels from the 80's.

Last summer in Spain I rented a Peugeot diesel wagon, 5spd, it was brand
new when I picked it up at the airport. I was pleasantly surprised at
what
a nice car it was -- hauled 4 of us and all our stuff for 9 days on
high-speed roads and back roads and in town, A/C running (blowing ice
cold!) and I figured (with all the conversions of liters and kms) that
it
was getting over 40mpg. I really wonder why we cannot buy cars like
that
here,
That is easy: EPA
(Otherwise known as gummit)
Or is it Gummit, otherwise known as EPA?)
