Don't count on them to make a sensible decision on diesels for the US — they haven't yet.
I disagree. At least in Canada, the 335d is selling great in Canada. Selling out everywhere. There is a good chance I'd buy a 335d if I were buying today. But our higher gas prices are probably a contributing factor.

I could easily see my next car being a 535d. Sounds like a fantastic road trip car.
