Diesel seen making comeback in US car market

Diesel is about to make a major comeback. Nissan plans to sell a diesel-power version of its Maxima sedan in the USA in 2010, joining a small but rapidly growing parade of diesel sellers, according to USA Today.
And Volkswagen says that, for the first time, it is developing diesels specifically for the U.S. market and will sell them in the USA first, instead of starting in Europe.
Together, those signal a new willingness by automakers to offer fuel-saving diesels in what has been considered an anti-diesel market.
