  Why is there no toyota diesel

Back to the original question. Toyota is only now beginning to get its act together in regards to automotive diesels in Europe. They didn't offer diesels in cars in Europe until the last year or so. (Diesel engines power close to 40% of new cars!)
I think that Toyota will hold out a little longer here in the states, especially since the Turdra saw its sales numbers drop for the 2002 model year.
I like your original question. I wish more Americans would go to their dealers and ask for diesels. I am a loyal diesel buyer. (I purchased four over the last eight years.) Americans need to realize the benefits of the MODERN diesel engine. When I would speak of the consistent 50+ mpg from my VW Golf TDI...eyebrows would raise. If Americans would actually test-drive new diesels, VWs especially, they would realize that their old excuses for not driving a diesel have been eliminated. There are virtually no downsides to owning a modern diesel. I'll gladly stand by that last statement and argue it until I'm blue in the keyboard!

My understanding is that the '04 Passats will have a 2.0 TDI putting out 134 hp. My brother now has a chiped '96 Passat TDI. His vanity license plate reads: FAST MPG.
I guess that we can only hope for an AWD option. I vowed that my next vehicle would be diesel and 4WD...thus the '98 Ram w/Cummins.

One of my co-workers used to haul fuel. They often just add the off-road dye when delivering the fuel. It can be the same product, just with a little rouge.
Here in eastern PA, landscapers were being investigated very closely about three years ago for off-raod fuel violations. The DOT boys were show up out of the blue one morning, demanding the landscaper's fuel records. Tax is 55-cents a gallon in PA. The DOT doesn't like cheats. Rumor has it that fines started at $10,000.
I prefer to pay my fines in 55-cent chunks.
