Yeah, well I thought of Kawasaki 750's.

And compared to gas- how much cost/gal delta plus mileage delta is needed to pay for it? Granted, there will always be the technophiles out there who will get it for the sake of getting it. But the general public more buys with their pocketbook. Be it Europe or the US.
I agree, especially from a cost/complexity standpoint up front since we know diesels carry a premium up-front cost, not to mention on this side of the pond diesel prices are not always in tune with power density parity. I remembered Peugot had that diesel electric hybrid prototype/demonstrator several years ago that drove across Australia or something that got over 100MPG. Your post reminded me and I looked it up and sure enough they turned the tech into a production vehicle. I don't think it means much for the US, but in Europe, where CO2 emissions factors into your taxes it's huge, so it is at least interesting one is in production...
