I think if I read one more article about Europe getting a massively efficient, killer clean diesel model that WON'T ever make it ot the USA I'm going to blow my top!
The mileage figures are out on the super Audi A4 2.0TDI and it will get a whopping FIFTY-ONE miles per gallon!
And Audi claims it’s the most fuel efficient, standard size sedan in the world.
But forget about it ever coming here!
@#$#@%%^^&&!!!!!!!
What IS it with these car manufacturers that they are soooo scared to make a serious diesel commitment here?
Is it a deep rooted belief that Americans won't pay a premium over say a Japanese hybrid for one of these?
And if so, why don't they just give up now if they are not going to try and break the hybrid mental stranglehold, on the American car customer?
Or is it that Americans would rather sacrifice mileage for power and that's why the diesels that come here, are not the ones that get the highest mileage
Yes it will take time and money but if they don't, pack up the house.
Like the old commercial said...
Do you want to pay now or pay later?
And not just picking on Audi here, it just happens that the news just hit on this great car, so it was the straw that broke the camels back for me.
I had to get this out of my system!
