They have so many fuel-saving vehicles but...

The U.S. and Canada has:

-Strict regs on emissions, safety, etc.
-A horsepower addiction
-Fear of Diesel
-A bigger fear of small vehicles (false perception of size vs. safety)
-Longer stretches of high-speed operation

They filter over here in small numbers. We just have to be receptive to opening up our minds and free up the red tape...
