Nick that is B.S. it is your federal government that will not allow any diesel to come in this country except for trucks. Also your federal government are also in the pockets of BIG OIL including the Demoncrats so please Mr. ECO-Terrorist when it comes to doing your home work you suck! There is no such thing as GREEN ENERGY only in your dreams.

I agree that Ford has clear reason to bring diesel engines like this to the United States. I don't see it happening any time soon, however. They have their hands too far into the pockets of the oil fat-cats. They will continue to allow “special interests” to control their sales in the United States, because of costs to them and to oil companies. Yes, they could boost sales tremendously, but what is the cost to their other payroll providers? “Big oil” has too much to lose in allowing such fuel economy to take control. They save billions by paying millions to Ford and other car manufacturers to keep fuel economy low in the U.S. Ford CEO's, in turn, make millions in tax-free “gifts,” so why would they chose to turn this down and have to split the revenue with other employees and the government? It's a simple economic “trade,” where the two directly involved both benefit. How is it affecting the rest of us? Hmm… let's take a look at the major stock indexes in the United States right now to find out….
