Diesel Preview for 2014-15

It sounds like 2015 is far away but some 2014s have been in dealer showrooms for months and it´s only July.

Diesel Car Preview for 2014-15

More Diesels Still to Come as Automakers Add Models to Lineup

America’s love affair with the diesel is being rekindled, at least as far as sales figures go. Sales of diesel-powered cars and SUVs were up 26% in 2012 and it looks as if that trend is continuing for 2013. While these figures are encouraging, overall sales of diesels remain in the single digits while diesels command over 50% of sales in European markets such as Germany and the United Kingdom. Hybrids, not diesels, seem to have significantly greater mindshare in the U.S.

Given the trend, not only are automakers making oilburners available in the U.S., but some, such as Chrysler and General Motors, are entering the field after a hiatus of several decades. Up until now, however, the diesel market has been dominated by German carmakers, namely Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volkswagen....
