Why doesn't North America have the TDV8?

I envy the 27+ MPG the TDV8 gets Sad I wonder why (with gas prices being an ever increasing concern) it isn't available in the US?

Altough I'm glad we don't pay as much for gas as you guys do...yet.

United Kingdom 2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Stornoway Grey

I think it is because your current diesel fuel is not suitable for modern Euro diesel engines. It will not be long before things change for you though. Then I am sure LR will make it available. Gone - 2008 TDV8, Stornoway Grey, ebony, zabrano trim, TV, Tasmods, mudflaps.
