I think too many Americans are still afraid of diesels, but those that are are becoming fewer and fewer. I grew up not knowing why everyone hated diesel cars, but I knew everyone did. (born in '82, so I missed the whole failed diesel revolution).
I think by now most have forgotten are at least willing to give it another shot 30 or so years later in the spirit of better MPG. But first and foremost the US needs to get on track with the rest of the world for their diesel emissions. Diesel cars are King in Europe and they can't even get arrested in North America.  |
Google "Oldsmobile 350 Diesel" and you'll understand why this hatred is so deep-seated.
I was pretty young when these cars were new (born in 1970), but I do remember an uncle who owned a Delta 88 Diesel and all he did was complain.
