LA Times on the CDI

Do you miss starting your car each morning, sitting back and enjoying the aroma of diesel fumes escaping from the exhaust pipe?

Mercedes-Benz, inventor of the diesel for passenger cars back in 1936, thought you might, especially because it hasn't offered a diesel in the U.S. market since 1999.
FYI, I drive through the L.A. port area (Alameda corridor), and have been spying CDIs on the transport trucks. It kinda hurts knowing that they're just passing by, on their way to the lucky states...
