I saw - on youtube, now gone - Bob Lutz give an interview about small diesel. They are working on emissions that will not be require until 2013 or so. The next two tiers, from now 'till then, are the two biggest reductions in emissions. Ford is also working on a diesel hybrid called 'Reflex' that is a small sports model also. I saw this car at a show and spoke with an engineer. He said we'll see new diesel models here in the next few years.
