...the rumored Chrysler/Fiat 500 turbo diesel is pegged at 56 mpg (EPA) which betters the Fiestas' 43 mpg (EPA) results.

...but one has to wonder WHY Ford has its head stuck in the sand (or other southern orifice) like GM with that statement "It has no plans to introduce the sub-brand or sell the Fiesta diesel in the United States..."???

...the cost of shipping them from Australia to USA can't be THAT much, can it?
