I'm just freshening up a bish of mine: Why is it that Jeep is making a CRD Wrangler in Toledo for the Euro market, yet it's not offered for sale stateside???

I haven't read any official reasons, but it likely boils down to what sort of sales/profits they project with domestic sales vs. the overall cost of getting it U.S. emissions certified.

 

There certainly are Jeep enthusiasts who claim they'd buy one, but I wonder if those aren't in large part the people who are going to buy a new Jeep anyway, whether it's gas or diesel.

 

I imagine Jeep has studied this option a great deal more than you or I have. ;)

They're pretty decent drivers/off-roaders but they shake like a sunofabitch and are extremely loud. If it's not for emissions I'm sure they don't think the US market would accept that level of NVH. They come with start-stop too.
