For some years before the merger Chrysler has been producing
both minivans and Jeeps in Europe and offering diesels in
them.  American diesel lovers need to face the fact that
auto executives here do not believe there is a market for
diesels big enough to justify doing it and they're correct.
As far as bureaucracy goes, I bet it's easier to do diesels
than gasoline engines and don't think that's the problem.
Domestically produced diesels?  Given NAFTA, Mexico (where
Golfs and Beetles are made) is domestically!  What are you
waiting for again?  (Not flaming, just funning!)
