i was checking out the mercedes, toyota, and volkswagen, ford, etc.c international auto websties yesterday and was wondering why the US has such a limited selection of cars to choose from. i mean, why can't we also have the option of buying a land cruiser with a super effiecient diesel engine instead of the gas eating V8? i'm sure it has something to do with emission standards but from what i understand these new diesels don't pollute any more than their gas counterparts. and you can even use biodiesel. i'd love to buy a nice 4 door toyota tacoma (known as a hilux for the rest of the world) but not with a V6 that doesn't even break 20mpg! anyone know if there are plans to sell more diesel models in the US? man, i'd love to have one of those mercedes vans too, very nice.
