Dunno about American buyers, but one American builder has definitely gotten the message: Ford. Check out their Eco-boost lineup. Not diesels, but the fact is that America is still not ready for mainstream diesel motors in their cars. (I personally think diesels still stink way to much -- paraffin stink now, but stink is still stink -- but that's me.)
