Diesel Toyota's For North America

[corax]

To: Toyota USA / Toyota Canada
The goal of this petition is to request the importation or the release of diesel versions of all Toyota models available in North America. The World outside of North America and particularly European nations have had the luxury year after year to purchase a diesel engine in any Toyota model from the Yaris Diesel to the Land Cruiser Diesel (Not available in North America, and it should be). North America is fed inferior gas engines. Regulations have now put ultra low sulphur diesel at all gas stations, which is a much cleaner form of diesel. Diesel is a more efficient fuel and we as North Americans are demanding the fast tracking of diesel engines to the North American market by Toyota. We want it here now. We encourage all the Toyota owners , future owners and fans to fill this petition.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Those online petitions are just terrible. Unless you get about 50 million verifiable signatures, don't expect a peep from Toyota. :tapedshut:

My dream vehicle is a 105 series land cruiser with the 1hdte turbo diesel and H151 5spd tranny. :drool:

A 3rd gen with a 1kzte turbo diesel would be nice as well.

Even Lexus sells a diesel IS Europe.

This reminds me of a project I had back in college. The studends were required to write a petition, and my petition was for Toyota to bring back the diesels. :hillbill:

To make this happen, I think the petition has to be towards the US govt to make it easier/less expensive for companies outside the U.S. to import diesels. Of course that won't happen because they own one of the U.S. car companies.

Any of you Canadian folks know if Toyota still sells Land Cruisers there? I know they use to, but I'm under the impression that they no longer do.

New 70 series diesel Land Cruisers are offered in Canada, but from what I understand, they aren't street legal and are only used in the mining industry. :( Would be nice to import one of those. Thread somewhere on mud about it.
