I think you can even forget about the tiny and low power parts. There is still a lot of prejudice (which I share) against diesel cars here, because they are seen as noisy, stinky, and dirty.
The reason diesels sell in US pickup trucks is that the people who buy them are mostly the sort of jerks who LIKE being noisy, stinky, and dirty, as witness the aftermarker mods that let them blow out clouds of diesel smoke.
