Diesels are real cars, that's why.

I will buy one in a heartbeat, too bad it isn't turbo diesel. I owned two diesel car and they are great!

It's not Toyota, or any other mfg, for that matter. It's the stubborn, under-educated American public. We love our automatic transmissions, gas-sucking pig-mobiles, and ultra-comfort sofa seats. The mfg's are just giving Americans what they want. Well, not what everyone wants, but the vast majority. I want the exact opposite of what I just mentioned.

Americans will start getting diesels as soon as someone educates them on the superior efficiency and torque that they produce.

maybe if fuel was as expensive as it is in europe, but here good luck, expecially when diesel costs more than premium

Actually, the 220d is a turbo diesel

Europe is a diesel market, no doubt. Lexus has engineered the IS220d just because of the high demand here. Especially Germany, France, Portugal, Spain etc. have a big volume on diesels. The marketshare is up to 80% in some countries, within the D-Premium segment. It's the economic way of thinking of the people that results in such a high diesel rate.

Switzerland is - once again - different. We have a marketshare of 34% and slightly increasing. We still prefer petrol engines over diesels, and are willing to pay a lot of money for powerful cars. This illustrates why Lexus CH is selling 60% Hybrids over here. The Hybrid is combining economic values with power. That's exactly what mr and mrs switzerland were waiting for.

Keep in mind Imperial Gallons do not equal the measure of gallon in the United States, which would affect MPG estimates.

Thanks for the point out. Turbo diesel has alot of performance protential, great gas mileage, good torque, and usually they used a closer gear ratio along with the diesel engine to pump out the power, which is a big

IIRC The engine is the same as what was used in the Toyota Avensis here in Europe. It's not much refined, and alot of people were actually annoyed to the fact that a completely brand new diesel engine had not been developed for the Lexus range .

To whomever mentioned diesel fuel in the US versus what's available in Europe, that's already changing. All US diesel is required to be 50ppm (versus the current 500ppm) sulpher content in the next year or two (I forget the exact timeframe, but it's happening now).
