So do Chevrolet EU (aka Daewoo), Kia, Hyundai and even Honda and Toyota.
So why not in the US ?
If nobody wanted them, VW, Audi, Mercedes and BMW wouldn't bother.
Or am I missing something obvious ?
EDIT - BTW those GM and Ford diesels are really quite good, as good as the TDIs really.

Europe uses the Brent Light Crude (a lighter easier to refine oil) which allows better fuel standards.....while the US uses cruder crude?
