"Another Car We Can’t Buy"
Nor would most Americans even if it were available. It's a no brainer for a couple of reasons:
2-reasons:
1) The Diesel engine.
2) The Manual transmission.
1) I only knew one person who dared to by a diesel Oldsmobile back in 1980 when GM were installing them in Cadillacs, Olds and Pontiacs. The Olds sounded like it had 1,000 ball bearings rolling around in a 55 gallon drum when it idled and worse when reved up. Diesel fuel for cars is difficult to get in many areas. Plus they're difficult to start in sub-zero temperatures.
2) The majority of Americans can't and don't want to learn to drive "stick" (manual). It's labor intensive and difficult to use in heavy commuter traffic. Besides shifting would interfere with the kids texting and cellphone calls.
