Now with France/Europe planning to ban diesel's in 'cars', but allow in commercial
and 'trucks'...that may make it over to North America some day...

The ultimate spin!! Paris has banned access to conjested areas by diesel powered cars & London is speculating following suit. That falls far short of your claim of a ban of diesels in cars! Euro 5 emission standards failed to address nitrogen oxide & nitrogen dioxide emissions from Diesel engines & are now paying the price. In addition, most European regulation enforcements are much more lax than our epa watch dogs. Real world tests show nox emissions 6 fold of the sterile lab tests. Euro 6 standards have just been adapted this year but still fall short of our tier 2 standards that we have had in effect since 2008. There's absolutely no correlation between what's happening in Europe to our situation.

Not quite true, US Tier Diesels are banned in Australia, CO2 and particulates too high. No the European regulations are not more lax than the U.S. different emphasis., Diesels
emit CO2, modern EFI Gas Petrol engines emit more Nitrides than any Diesel
