65mpg? And it's not a Hybrid? Only in Europe

That's a pretty cool looking car. Seats 5 people, nav system, premium wheels, it's a ford, 65 mpg... hybrid? nope. Diesel.

Can you have it? nope. Unless you move to Europe. That's right, Ford out of all people are selling cars that get amazing gas mileage without being an ugly hybrid! Just not in US. Why? no market. I cannot believe in this day an age a country as developped as the United States only has 3% of their population owning diesel cars versus 50% in Europe. I could not make up a better example of a country run by greed and it's corporations. Or maybe it's the peoples fault, after all Ford made this car for the European market, they must have higher demands than americans over there. Or maybe they demand the same standards, but unlike americans they actually vote for them.
