Modern diesels are great engines. The price of diesel may be similar to benzene now as opposed to 20 years ago, but diesel engines are more quiet and run cleaner than 20 years ago.

What soured Americans on diesels, I think, were the typical shoddy American product when GM produced diesels. They were noisy, stinky, and un-reliable.

At the same time, I knew someone who drove a BMW 525td and it was a world of difference above American products - like normal.

Educate the populace and they will buy diesels.
