New diesel cars will crop up in California.

New diesel cars have not been sold in California for years, due to air regs.

With the introduction of low-sulfur diesel, that will change. Expect to see a lot more 45 MPG VW TDI's on the road as a result. And for wannabe biodiesel enthusiasts, this means no more perusing Craigslist with nothing but beat-up Mercedeses to choose from.
