It's no secret that Diesel is big overseas. It hasn't, however, managed to catch on here in the United States, which is something that has always baffled us here at Knopf Automotive. Even though it's more expensive at the pump, diesel is cleaner and slower burning. This means that vehicles that are powered by diesel often get higher mileage and produce fewer emissions. If it sounds like a win-win situation, it's because it is.

And that's exactly the reason why Porsche is taking another shot at bringing Diesel technology to the United States. More specifically, the German automaker recently announced plans to bring a diesel variant of the Porsche Cayenne to U.S. shores, and we personally can't wait! After all, it's obvious that they're no stranger to alternative fuel and energy, as evidenced by the presence of the Porsche Cayenne Hybrid.

Still, we know that there are those of you out there who may be still a tad bit wary of making a change like this, and we don't blame you. That's why in the spirit of transparency, we'll share the one aspect of the Porsche Cayenne Diesel that some may find to be a down side. That comes in the realm of performance. More specifically, the the horsepower will decrease from 333hp with the V-6 engine to about 245hp. Is this a deal breaker? For some, perhaps the answer is yet. For us, however, the trade off in performance for fuel economy is well worth it. After all, the European variant of the Porsche Cayenne Diesel is rated at 32 mpg combined!
