Agreed. I've gone to several dealerships, and if you find even ONE, it's a rare find.

This particular dealership did have one, but it was sparsely equipped, with the least desireable color/interior combo available.

EPA fuel consumption estimates on the sticker weren't dramatically lower than the gassers...maybe a 2 mpg improvement (over the V6)...not enough to warrant a closer look...does the high sulphur content in domestic diesel fuel have anything to do with that?
