Know what Johnny ? The problem is that America cannot get the kind of modern diesels we have here in Europe; I am NOT a diesel man myself but I am impressed when I take the company car, a 2007 Renault Mégane station wagon with a 1,5 litre 16-valve turbodiesel and that little car cruises at 100 mph - no kidding ! I have done runs in northern France to Brussels keeping 85-100 mph speeds and you cant tell it's a puny diesel.
On top of that it doesn't smell at all ! These are called twin-scroll turbocharged, common rail injection engines.
