Bowdacious, the US market is still actually pretty ignorant about diesel powered. The ones that have truly embraced oil burners are the Europeans. The advantages of diesel engines are that they are very economical and very robust.

Bowdacious, the Americans are still quite resistant to diesel engines. Europe is where the diesel engines are really flourishing, as the have taken the awesome range and economy of these engines.

Last month, I was part of the media drive in these same cars which went from K T’ganu to PD to Penang. The original plan was to go all the way with one tank, but we eventually had to refuel at Ipoh.

I believe with you guys, the 320ds should have given much better consumption figures than with us journalists. When we drove them, the 320ds’ engines were not really run in and were very tight.

Diesel is the way to go, a lot of the cars in the US are running on diesel powered engine. Not to mention that diesel powered engine are way more powerful, that’s what I picked up from Discovery Channel.. haha
