Some of my best small cars I've owned were diesels. I'm excited at the prospect of being able to purchase a new one someday using the latest technology! I know that VW sells a very small car in other countries with a 3 cylinder diesel engine... sure would be nice to get something like that here!

Some quick highlights from the article above--
DaimlerChrysler says BLUETEC is so clean it can meet emissions regulations in all 50 states, including the five states where diesels aren't currently sold because they can't meet emissions standards: California, Massachusetts, Maine, New York and Vermont.
Zetsche said DaimlerChrysler plans to add BLUETEC technology to other brands in its lineup, including Chrysler and Jeep.
Ford Motor Co. is displaying the Ford Reflex concept at the auto show, a sports car with a hybrid-diesel engine it says can get 65 miles per gallon.
Honda Motor Co., which already sells diesels in Europe, said it's monitoring U.S. demand, while Nissan Motor Co. President and CEO Carlos Ghosn said the company is working on diesels and will be ready if consumers demand them.
