:D If you hadn't noticed, Volvo is in Sweden, that's a looooong way from Italy.........

VW's selling a lot of Diesels here in California. USA diesel sales went up 38% in the first half of 2011 (the only stats I could find quickly) with the Passat leading.
The Passat Tdi wagon has become the car of choice in my mountain area, replacing Subarus and SUVs From what I see they're selling significantly more than a handful. (this article says < 3% of cars in the US in 2012:

But my area of California has a much different car market than most of the USA. The most common car on the road is a Prius.
