At the New York Auto Show Mazda has announced plans to bring diesel engines to the United States. This is a unusual move because most automakers, besides Volkswagen, do not have smaller diesels in their United States portfolios. The first vehicle to have a diesel will be a Mazda 6 sized vehicle (maybe even the Mazda 6).
I know that diesels aren't that popular in the United States but I blame that mostly on the lack of vehicle choices. The lack of choices is sad because diesel engines offer better fuel economy than most hybrids, can burn many different types of fuels and diesels tend to have a longer life expectancy than their gasoline counterparts.
I am glad to see some more diesels coming to the States and with Mazda, you know we will have some sporty/affordable options.
What are your thoughts towards diesel engines?
