Some of you already know, but Europe is chock full of clean diesel engines. Even Chrysler has been selling the 300C with a diesel engine there, but not in the USofA. Chrysler finally put a diesel in their Jeeps here. Honda sells diesels there too. We only get the now-even-larger V8s. Pick up a copy of Top Gear magazine to check them out.

IF the US currency was not in the dumps it would be nice to import some of those engine offerings.

On a whim I googled "Zetec diesel" and it seems that there is such a beast. 1.6l "TDCi" a/k/a the DV6. Are these available at all in the US? Would they work with the Bostig kit?
