BMW 7-Series To Not Offer A Diesel For U.S.

Totally understandable, more and more people have been turned off from diesel in cars. Trucks they are fine with but for cars, Hybrid / EV is the way to go. I suspect over the next 24 months we will see a proliferation of the Hybrid / EVs with performance equal to or beating diesel.

Diesel is god from a torque and highway fuel economy standpoint, but bad from the emissions standpoint.  And I think going forward people (governments) will care more about emissions than mpg.  Makes more sense to offer plug in hybrids and push toward electrification, because the market will go there eventually.

Actually, per EPA, conventional Japanese compacts are already there, even without hybrid or turbo: Corolla Eco (35 mpg), new Civic (35 mpg), Mazda3 (34 mpg) vs Jetta diesel (36 mpg, or so they said) or diesel Cruze (33 mpg)

WOW, You really now NOTHING about Electric Motors. They OUT TORQUE Diesels and are far better economy, Diesel had their day and yet in places where electrical is still rare, 3rd world countries, diesel is king, but in modern places, electric is way better. 

Yes Diesels out Torque regular Petro, but like Petro they have to rev up to produce and give that Torque. Electric is 100% from zero and just keep going till it tops out.

Enjoy your Diesel days now as they will be over soon and you can thank VW for that!

As I said, car companies will move toward electric.  And I know they have more torque.  And zero emission.  Electric is the future, pure EV is just a little while away still.

And I meant to type "diesel is good" before, not god.  I didn't mean to sound like diesel was the best, just that you get good torque and highway mileage from a diesel engine.  But you have the emissions problem, so a plug in or hybrid can get the torque and mileage in a cleaner fashion.
