2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel

</strong><br />I want more diesel cars in the U.S. Every TDI Volkswagen makes is fun to drive and delivers great mileage with the generally more expensive fuel. I think of it as getting a performance car that would require premium gas prices, but you get economy-car mileage. The Cruze doesn&#39;t look to deliver much on either the performance or mileage fronts, at least enough to offset the cost. I&#39;m also not sure Chevy has the cool-diesel cachet VW does. </p>
