Bob,
The crash test is the question.
US emissions are behind most of the developed world.
Europe has updated and modernized their emission requirements
and testing methods frequently over the last 20 years.
America hasn't.
For example, reduced Sulfur diesel fuel has been mandatory in
Europe for years. It will be available in the US next year. Then, maybe,
we'll see some of the new TDI powered cars from Europe. Like the GM
sports coupe with a  .9L, 214hp TDI 4cyl that tops out at 140mph and
gets 51mpg at 70mph.
