(but they are coming for 2004, confirmed by MB USA (E300) & BMW USA (330D)).
can't afford ANY of the listed, but hey....

What on earth do you want a Turdo Desisel for? they are slow smelly noisy
and very polluting (in all except CO) need servicing twice as often too and
generally vastly inferior to their equivalent sized petrol / LPG
equivalents. Now gas is the way to go near 0 emissions, half price fuel, and
need servicing half as often, is quieter if anything, and doubles the
lifespan of the engine withe minimal perfomance loss.

Your diesel engine information is about 20 years out of date. They are in production. There is an infrastructure to support them. Modern turbo-diesel engines are very competitive in performance to gasoline engines and they use much less fuel.
