Diesel prius would be stupid expensive and diesel engines have trouble meeting emissions regs when the engine is starting which a hybrid does a lot of. Besides, gasoline engine is cleaner, qieter, lighter and much cheaper to build. I would rather they invest more money into the electric side instead of the ICE. By the way, the prius already uses an atkinson cycle engine. Look that up some time.
