Doesn't BMW, Volkswagen currently sell diesel cars?

Doesn't the extra torque make them powerful? Like 200 horsepower for diesel and 260 horsepower for gas both have same acceleration?
Diesels usually have more torque down low, but they run out fof breath very fast, thats why most diesels are turbo charged.

And yeha, BMW, VW sell tons of diesels in Europe, and quite frankly all of them suck.
