If they took the TDCI Fiesta over there instead of the average 1.6 petrol, or if Toyota imported the D4-D Yaris with the rest of the range, who knows what might take off.
Mind you not all of them were high geared - I had a Metro (Rover not Geo) Diesel for a day - 18mph/1000 in top, 1.5D - same engine as yours. It would hit the governor in top on a particular downhill stretch of the M6 near Lancaster. Not fun.
Congrats on the figures BTW - very impressive for an IDI old stylee Diesel
EDIT : Of course Toyota can't bring in the D4-D models - that would destroy the reasoning behind the Prius... *(runs and hides)
