    It looks like that could change soon. If they are bringing in compact cars with diesel options then cargo vans shouldn't be too far behind.

    If you aren’t familiar with the gravely rumble of a diesel powered vehicle you probably will be soon.
    They’re commonplace in Europe thanks to better milage and will be in the same position on American shores thanks to increasingly stringent government standards.
