Re: 2006 Kia Sedona Reliability

It's more than that.  Diesels have had a tough time meeting U.S. emission 
standards for cars.

Much of the U.S. is also mired in a Winter that makes having a diesel a 
distinct disadvantage.  I have some people who work for some of the U.S. 
railroads, and they are having a dickens of a time keeping the locomotives

running in the cold.  A car wouldn't be any better - they just aren't the 
engine to have if you have to deal with temperatures at 0 and below (-15 
to -20 C).

Thankfully, the gasoline engine in the U.S. Sedona (which is a joint
venture 
with Mitsubi**** I believe, as is the tranny) makes for a seriously good 
powertrain.

34mpg (uk gallon) does not sound all that impressive to me.  Combined
with the  price of diesel being much higher than gasoline in the U.S.
and I don't see the advantage.
