GM gave us diesel passenger cars which prompted the owners to
pay big $$ to replace the diesel engines with gas engines.
(the same buyers who had paid serious $$ for the diesel
option when the car was new).
These people, and many of their friends/relatives, won't
be driving diesel cars anytime soon.
I remember cycling with a friend in the mid-80's, and seeing
a GM car that was turning over but not firing, and smelled
of unburnt diesel. My friend yelled "That's what you get
for buying a diesel!" It was a common attitude then, and
I think the attitude remains among the US population.
