Diesels? In Oz??

[pombstard]

There's a General Gassing thread at the mo about TDi & 6-speed boxes in the UK - but what about using them in Australia? I know BMW, Audi, VW and Merc are bringing in new Diesels but will the market work here in the same way as in Europe?

I've spoken to many Aussies about Diesels and they are all of the opinion that they wouldn't be as good as a Falcon or a Commodore - but what about a Diesel Falcon, with the new Ford/Jag engine?

Or is this a step too far in a place like this?
