I also really wish a manufacturer would run a small diesel rather than a small gas engine in cars like the Volt. So many upsides to that....maybe it will happen if a few more small car diesels do well here.

Lots of reasons there is not a diesel
1) not made in America
2) NVH issues
3) cost issues
4) weight issues
5) powerband issues
6) additional equipment issues to make it 50 state legal
