Best example (OK, not a car) is apple... a gizmo that costs 499 USD in the US costs 499 Euros in Europe. Go research the exchange rate.

I realize that comparable cars in europe cost more. My point is that in europe, you can get a bare bones 3 cylinder diesel that gets phenomenal mileage.We yanks can not.
The only reasonably priced oil burner we can get is a VW and the price starts somewhere in the mid 20s, well above economy car prices.
Even with your price premiums, I would think you can a tiny diesel for something less than 25K dollars.
