The whole VW emmisions scandal has changed the landscape . Some cities like Paris are in the countdown to not even allowing them within city limits. Much more oversight now and the whole public image of diesels has taken a hit. There is only so much money for R and D and a ton of money is being spent on electric vehicles by all manufacturers. BMW has some real nice diesel sport sedans. Not sure if they are available in North America.
All the above JMHO.
Paris will be banning all ICE vehicles.It does not apply to a lot of Europe as Lessmore has posted.Over 40% of all vehicles on European roads are diesel comopared to 2 % in the US
I would be surprised if the percentage were that low. I'd venture that at least half of 2500/3500 pickups are diesel and nearly every class 7 or larger truck is diesel. Now if you're talking passenger cars, I'd say 2% is probably correct.
