I can certainly attest to the fact that the new, modern car diesels are clean and quiet. On my many trips to Europe, where nearly 50% of all new cars sold are diesel, you CAN'T TELL that they are diesels!

i like your comment,we like the old Lister type one lung diesel engines that have no electronic controls,hook up a generator head to one of these,and you have pure power.

Hahold diesels werent considered a performance option...yeah take a 94 dodge cummins 12 valve for instanse, you can take that and EASILY make 1000 hp and 1500 pound feet of torque..so please..don't tell me old diesels WERENT a power option..

i agree with you 100%...Europeans ..enjoy the state of art bosch tech. plant oils can be grown and turned into 100 percent bio-diesel fuel.bosch also help invent the protos plant oil furnace..GO Bosch!!!

He hit the nail on the head, Americans need to be educated. Europeans have enjoyed quiet, powerfull, clean, economical common rail diesels for over 10 years. It's not a new technology as the reviewer suggests. In many SUV's many petrol options have been dropped as nobody will buy them. On the smaller Jeep Patriot the EU 2.0Diesel has more performance than the 2.4 Petrol and has a highway figure of 52.2mpg.

Why you're sold? Turbodiesels have lot of torque. For an extreme example, the Mercedes S420 CDI (diesel) have a 4.0 variable-turbo V8 with 320 bhp and 538 lbft of torque, more than a stock Viper 8.3 V10 version but with an average fuel similar of a Mercedes E350. I'm not joking.
