Bring on the diesel. . . . . I am ready for change!!! I have been driving around in my 1987 Mercedes 300td wagon!!!  With 223k miles, It still pulls almost 30 mpg in comparison to the comparable gas car obtaining about 20 mpg. 

Bmw is launching it's first set of diesel's in the U.S. since the 524td back in the mid 80's.  

BMW will launch a 3 series, the X3, and X5 with a turbo diesel powertrain option.  I heard from a famous comedian that averaged over 50 mpg on a trip from L.A. to San Francisco in her 3 series turbo diesel.  Quiet and powerful....She loved it!!!!  

Subaru is also set to launch the first horizontally opposed boxer diesel engine on U.S. shores next year.  Expected to obtain over 40 mpg, the boxer diesel should win the hearts of those fuel mileage conscious buyers.
