fishbone Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 ece-tim: it would certainly make more sense than Nissan's 100% electric. Or, to say it different, it ought to be easier. And besides, Subaru ain't no Toyota in sales numbers. The # of diesel stations is just fine for now. There won't suddenly be a shortage of diesel because lesbians will buy diesel Foresters in droves.

fishbone Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 People are buying diesels in Europe because they don't include higher maintenance costs and repair costs in their calculation. Repair costs are overrated (in the sense diesels are not inherently less reliable than gas engines). People buy diesels because: -taxes are high on big displacement and (turbo)-diesel does MUCH better than gas in small engines -gas is over 6 bucks a gallon over there. Diesel has a much better fuel economy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubly so when they are selling diesel models in other nations. I also forgot to mention the costs of certifying and modifying European diesel models for sale in the U.S. But hey, if random internet dude says it is completely ignorant to NOT do this, then by all means effing do eeeiiitttt!!!

RJS5689 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Not impressed... I've owned a DI mill before and I'm torn as to whether or not I really miss it. The potentials from it are phenomenal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Whoever thinks automakers are ignorant regarding diesels is probably a pompous prick in real life who thinks he knows it all. SOA said they don't think there's a strong enough demand here to warrant bringing the diesel boxer YET, all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
