Also, there is no strong diesel network in the US. Europe is the opposite. Gas is very expensive there (diesel isn't), there is no bad connotation of diesel, and they have the network.
The guy who started the diesel argument linked in one or more VW/TDI forums. I don't know him, but I've known Tim (Surf Green) for a long time and have met him a few times (small world, eh?).
BTW, your idea that there is "no strong diesel network in the US" is completely unfounded, and I'd like to know what gave you that idea. What do you think the legions of heavy trucks that drive into every corner of the US burn?
As opposed to Europe, you think that diesel is expensive and hard to find here? Diesel fuel in Europe, while much cheaper than gasoline per litre, is still more expensive than ours. One out of every three fuel stations in the US carries diesel fuel. Not bad for an apparently niche market, eh?
