Kinda glad not everyone drives diesels because that would drive up the price of diesel fuel.

So at the Washington DC auto-show last year, I was very surprised to hear that GM was introducing a Chevy Cruze diesel. Then very skeptical when the Chevy people said they still had no specs or literature on the car. So I finally got the chance to test-drive a new Cruze diesel last summer and was very impressed, though not so much with the $6K premium over the base Cruze gasser. At least, finally since the 1980s, The US has a diesel alternative to the VW. OTOH, the reliability history of Cruze gassers doesn't bode well for the diesel version. Nor has VW been a shining example on that score. And world-wide, fuel prices, environmental regs, and usage & tax penalties in some countries aren't helping either. If only we could get a compact Toyota diesel again. I've heard Mazda is introducing one here. Maybe that'll work out OK. Happy Motoring, Mark
