Was outweighed.
The latest diesels have become very complex machines.
As a result they also have more issues.

My opinion about automotive diesels, as opposed to trucks, has unfortunately been skewed by the early GM diesels and their rather sketchy reliability.

Things have changed a bit since - especially with European diesels
Dunno if you'll ever have the chance to drive say a 2011 or 2012 BMW 3L 6-in-line "330" diesel, but that's a good example of what modern diesels can be.
