Well it certainly seems like the latest bmw diesel models, such as the 33d are not catching on in the US. Hard to believe a car that goes 0-60 in 5.3 seconds and gets way way over 30 mpg on the highway is not selling. I suppose the misperception of diesels as slow, dirty and noisy here in the US has not gone away.

belive it or not that misconception is still here too, i was arguing with a guy the other day, even offered him a quarter mile blast up the road near where i work, i wouldnt trade 368lb of torqe and 42mpg for anything now

Any guesses for what will win the 24 Hour at Le Mans this year?
Diesel or Petrol?
I've driven Diesels for 15 odd years now and could never visualise going back to Petrol.
Most people who get a lift in my 520d have no idea its an oil burner beacause its so quiet on the inside.
