Because of the high sulphur content in diesel fuel in the US, those engines are not able to easily meet polution regulations. The only manufacturer that offers a diesel in car at this time is VW.

That's interesting because I always thought it was because fuel was so much cheaper in the US, that there was no point selling a diesel car, because fuel economy is less important to the US public than it is to us Brits.
