Yes, a chip right off of Europe's block. If any geographic location is known for entitlements, it is Europe. Sadly, the US is hot on their heels.

When I was in the Philippines, I drove a little Isuzu Turbo-diesel pickup truck and really liked it. Upon return, I was very disappointed when I learned that Isuzu did not plan to import it to the states. Isuzu does still sell light commercial trucks here, without the help of Joe Izusu.
I have lusted for a Toyota Hilux diesel for years. Really, I would buy any truck about the size of a Tacoma with a diesel engine in it. I ended up buying the smallest, most affordable diesel truck offered in the US; a Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins diesel. Yes, the smallest diesel engine in a truck offered in the US is a 5.9L turbo.
