When I leased a landrover discovery back in 97 I got interested in why diesels were not sold here in the US.
I asked the sales manager at Land Rover when they would bring the diesels to the US and was told "Americans don't want diesels". I was also told this very same thing by every salesperson who tried to sell me a non diesel. I finally purchased a Diesel Excursion as the big family vehicle. Well I was surfing around looking for articles on the 2005 Jeep liberty diesel and found this interesting article. It seems that the big 3 are indeed looking into bringing diesels to the US market.
