Quite frankly no main stream car manufacturer would survive in Europe unless diesel options were available in their range.
At the price we pay for fuel (over 75% in taxes) a petrol (gas) derivative is "nice to have" but rarely an option for many people....resale prices on diesel motors also hold up much better than petrol versions over here so unless the car is tax deductable or wholly company financed the options are usually decided for us!
