Who's going to buy the new diesel vehicles?

I've been reading through several automotive forums and people are talking about how many manufacturers have diesel powered vehicles in the works.. Who in the world is gonna buy them?? Within the last year, it's been made pretty clear that diesel fuel is a precious commodity, and is predicted to be even more so in the future. Whats the point of offering more diesels? That will only make prices higher. I think we are quickly heading to a point where diesel cost twice as much as a gallon of gas.. Am I missing something? I know this topic is a dead horse, but oh well..

I just can't see anyone in their right mind buying a diesel if things continue on the path they are going.
