Most of the time with diesels, emissions is the issue. Also, diesel is an issue - most folks don't like that.

If there's one thing the gov't SHOULD mandate, its that they should make idle stop/start a requirement. Almost every manufacturer does it, either in a hybrid or in Europe/Asia versions of normal cars. Force them to bring that to the USA and watch our fuel use plummet.
