Large displacement NA V8s are returning to the truck segment because diesel is so costly in ownership.

Hyundai and Mazda were both slated to bring small diesel SUVs to the but the effort to certify meant they eventually killed them off shortly after I left Bosch.

I do not have high hopes (long term) for diesel in the light duty segment.

under the current mafia.gov direction, agreed, they have no chance. i feel like they'll be re-evaluated when it becomes politically convenient.
