Too bad for VWOA.
Too bad. With pressure on manufacturers to meet stricter and stricter fuel economy targets the Diesel engine certainly helps. In the last few years since Dieselgate I have noticed other Manufaturers stepping into the void created by VW's decision to stop selling diesel in North America due to the scandal. One can now buy a Jeep, Jag, Chev and now soon Mazda (in CX5) in a Diesel engine. I'm sold on diesel now that I have my first. For starters there is 20% more energy in diesel and with its higher compression ratios it makes it a more efficient engine. Too bad, VW's loss has been other manufacturer's gains. I am seeing the beginnings of wider acceptance of diesels here in North America. VW was perhaps a decade too soon and blazed the way in North America.
