Regardless of who, the what is the same: Diesel cars are dead in the US and maybe in other nations as their regs bite in.

In France, gasoline is currently being less sold than previously because the CO2 taxes, depending on the number of g/km. I compared different models of different constructors with 110hp and Gasoline by consuming 50% more are generating 33% more CO2 than diesel. For Gasoline you have to pay CO2 taxes when you buy them while diesel is tax neutral.
A few months ago the French government talked about modulating CO2 taxes for bigger families who need bigger cars and for the gasoline cars to be saved
