Besides all the torque/hp charts and the anecdotal "how it feels", the
US customer will probably vote with their wallet...gas/diesel price per
gallon, anticipated "keep car" time, lease or buy, towing or not, etc.;
all will play a big part in that gas vs. diesel decision, imo.

Meanwhile, other than 1st adopters and dieselHeads, I doubt there will
be a big line to actually buy the diesel in the next several months,
at least here in the Colonies...but, maybe the car buying public has more
$80Gs and/or big lease payment funds available than I have considered.
