I <3 small diesels. Used to have a VW Passat with the 1.9 TDI engine back when I was driving 25k miles per year as a consultant. 4 doors, tons of leg room, huge trunk, and 45+ miles per gallon.
That was in 1996, almost 15 years ago. The technology is there. The Big-3 are fools for not offering something like this in their line up. The F-150 with a diesel V6 would be very excellent indeed, as would the Focus with a 4-cyl diesel.
