Does it make any difference what the American consumer wants? I’m not aware the auto companies listen to anything. I would love to get a diesel focus. If not available, I might just buy a diesel passat. All of the preceding comments seem spot on.

Dunno why Ford keeps saying Americans don’t fancy diesels well enough yet. Is it because they will only sell in the hundreds of thousands and not millions? It seems the Brits and most of Euro has gotten the best of the diesels through the years while sending their dogs across the pond. Maybe that’s why we’re a bit gun shy. Nevertheless, we Yanks are ready. It’s likely our unenlightened leaders (and I use that word advisedly) who are keeping it from happening. Bring’em on!

I for 1 would love to buy a diesel car, they are far better than gasoline and last longer also, sure here in the U.S.A. diesel fuel cost is a bit higher than gasoline but if this car is getting 80+mpg its well worth the little bit extra for fuel!
When are these companies like ford going to get there head out of they’re rectums and start pushing diesel cars here in the U.S.A. back in the early 1980′s they made the escort with a diesel engine and the ford ranger pick-up also had a diesel and those cars and trucks lasted a long time (with proper maintenance) and got great MPG for that times!! WAKE UP AMERICA diesel is far more greener than electric and all these hybrids!!!

I don’t believe the availability of diesel fuel here in the US is much in question. There’s a truck stop every 20 miles on all the US interstate highways and it’s not unusual for gas stations to have at least one diesel pump.

What is the matter with you guys? I have been talking to people in the UK and thwey have had the Fiesta Diesel for years and noe BMW and VW are sending their ccars to the US when are you going to smarten up and bring them top the US market? I would be interested in getting one asap. The cost and upkeewp on a hybrid is rediculous and not the least bit green. The last info on the mileage estimate in 2008 was 65 mpg, and that was great but this sounds better. Is they are manufature these in Europe and import them to the US, you could sell a boat load in 2 days. GET SMART.

This latest Fiesta Econetic diesel reportedly gets 3.3 liters/100 km, which would convert to about 71.3 mpgUS.

The EPA 5-cycle mileage typically is about 20% lower than the NEDC (Euro) cycle, so this would get somewhere in the neighborhood of 57 mpg in the "combined" EPA 5-cycle.
