I prefer diesel cars, as the price of diesel in my area is a bit lower than premium petrol. That, plus the greater torque, excellent overtaking capabilities, and eco-credentials make them winners in my book.

The problem is that Americans as a whole are creatures of habit and couldn't care to move forward with their car buying choices. Incremental changes- a bit more bling, bigger cars, and cash back incentives- are all that folks want in this country.
