I don't think so, they always have even before the jump to diesels

2018-08-06 01:08:24 UTC  

But there's plenty in Europe?

2018-08-06 01:08:32 UTC  

like I remember diesels back in the early 90s needing more attention than petrols

2018-08-06 01:08:35 UTC  

They just won't (or rather can't) bring them here.

2018-08-06 01:08:42 UTC  

though fewer people bought them

2018-08-06 01:08:55 UTC  

it was the late 90s and early 00s that europe really jumped on diesels

2018-08-06 01:08:58 UTC  

Like I said at the start, I get _why_ they don't bring them here.

2018-08-06 01:09:19 UTC  

Well if you were a salesman trying to convince me to buy a diesel vehicle I am not sold.

2018-08-06 01:09:24 UTC  

And diesels do have some objective disadvantages. It's a limited niche.

2018-08-06 01:09:27 UTC  

Lol I'm not.

2018-08-06 01:09:31 UTC  

I just like diesels.

2018-08-06 01:09:50 UTC  

Do you also like putting things in your bum

2018-08-06 01:10:00 UTC  

It's like someone trying to talk me into buying a miata.

2018-08-06 01:10:17 UTC  

I just don't _get_ the appeal, really. You couldn't talk me into it. Ever.

2018-08-06 01:11:18 UTC  

TF is this bullshit?

2018-08-06 01:11:33 UTC  

It looks like a catfish

2018-08-06 01:12:10 UTC  

well the appeal of the miata is it has a fantastic chassis and feels great to drive

2018-08-06 01:12:13 UTC  

It's the GTR 50 by Italdesign, you're a few weeks late, they showed that at goodwood.

2018-08-06 01:12:18 UTC  

it's also a reasonably cheap rwd option

2018-08-06 01:12:20 UTC  

It's not like you couldn't convince us to buy a diesel with facts

2018-08-06 01:12:24 UTC  

You just don't have the facts to do so

2018-08-06 01:12:27 UTC  

Because there aren't any.

2018-08-06 01:12:44 UTC  

So you would never consider the 944 or Miata, two classic examples of cars for people who actually want to enjoy driving.

2018-08-06 01:12:54 UTC  

But you want the diesel Cruze?

2018-08-06 01:13:44 UTC  

Does the idea of a light nimble car that can fly around corners with a high revving engine have no appeal to you?

2018-08-06 01:14:47 UTC  

Since it's uncomfortable and too small, not really

2018-08-06 01:14:58 UTC  

How large are you?

2018-08-06 01:15:07 UTC  

What does that have to do with it?

2018-08-06 01:15:07 UTC  

the miata isn't uncomfortable unless you're over 300lbs

2018-08-06 01:15:10 UTC  

I could fit

2018-08-06 01:15:21 UTC  

It's still too small. I don't like it.

2018-08-06 01:15:21 UTC  

Well then how is it too small?

2018-08-06 01:15:30 UTC  

have you driven one?

2018-08-06 01:15:32 UTC  

What does that have to do with it?

2018-08-06 01:15:40 UTC  

No. Because that would require me to get in one.

2018-08-06 01:15:56 UTC  

I mean you just said your reason for not wanting it is that it's uncomfortable and too small, your size would have everything to do with that.

2018-08-06 01:16:06 UTC  

I don't like cars that are too small, beyond a certain point. It's just uncomfortable.

2018-08-06 01:16:21 UTC  

I've been in an SLK before.

2018-08-06 01:16:22 UTC  

You do not see that as being related to your own size?

2018-08-06 01:16:23 UTC  

Too
