Btw, check out last week's Autoweek. Diesels are coming back! I wouldn't mind having a turbo in a sports sedan. Whats not to like about passing a rude driver in 6th gear?
In the article, they said, HP is for Speed, Torque is for Acceleration.
Yeah, he is really picky
Horsepower is a measure of Torque. Remember that.
Diesels smell bad, are hard starting in our harsh winters, are very polluting, and there aren't that many gas stations that sell diesel. Plus the ever important factor: American consumers remember the absolutely pathetic and horribly unreliable diesels that they were fed from the Big 3 twenty years ago. They will never come back. Fuel Cells have a far better future than diesels do in the US.
