Even though Diesels are 'cleaner' by European standards, the EPA deemed that since diesel emits more C02(Or was it nitrogen? Been a while since I read about it) it's not 'clean'. Trucks are of course, exempt, but car manufacturers have to go through major hoops to sell a diesel car here - Mercedes decided it wasn't worth it apparantly.
Compounded of course by the non-availability of low-sulpher diesel fuel in the US, which European cars were designed for (Although enough people with grey market vehicles have said that that doesn't matter to convince me)
