I feel like Superman, fighting for the American way! But if you'd
looked at what they were going to try, and had any American Hot Rodder
in you at all you'd know their combination wouldn't work anyway.

All fair enough points for diesels 25 years ago (although my dad's diesel
did 550,000 miles and was still going strong before the car it was in gave
up). Modern diesels are completely different ! They are quiet and not smelly
(we do have considerably cleaner diesel than you though). I went in my
friend's Renault estate diesel last weekend - its a 16' car with a fairly
normal 2.2 litre diesel, but it would (and did that weekend !) do in excess
of 130mph.
The BMW ones are even better ; the BMW 330cd 3 litre has 200bhp, a top
speed of 149 with a fuel consumption of 43.5 mpg.

And as for your TDI ...regarding EU 2010 emission legislation:

Cars like the VW Golf TDI will most likely have to be discontinued without
expensive upgrades using soot particle filter and NOx catalyst, which may
cost more than the engine itself and also penalise the fuel economy. "The
diesel will not be abolished", predicts VW boss Bernd Pischetsrieder
