And for all of those people who knock diesels as being old tech, smelly, and polluting... how does this make you feel?

diesels are very popular in europe b/c of the price of fuel...hybrids are rare...the diesel fuel is also better refined that in the US (so it starts cleaner which is easier for the cars emissions controls to clean it)...however...noone takes into account how much diesels still pollute...most engines sold in EDM trim cannot pass the stricter emissions tests in the US...and that's at the federal level and not CARBs higher standards
