^^ There is a thread on OD with a Honda civic and its lady owner who destroyed it, That kind of owners will make a nice pile of used diesel cars for us dieselheads.

The problem is that - its a catch 22, for the general american "horsepower" roolz. Take a look at any commercial, its all about cup holders, vacuum cleaners, missing spare wheels, fake wood trim, awesome, santa claus selling it, eco button mileage, general drivers who cant drive a manual box commenting on handling..

Its not quite simple. Most or nearly all mommies wont want to be seen in a smelly diesel that is bad for the environment (other mommies told them that because it spews evil black out the pipe) or even want to fill at the greasy pump with the green/yellow nozzle - thats where the yucky trucks go. General 9-5 guys wont be able to brag about their 450 hp engines either.
