diesels here in the UK are quite popular,cheaper insurance than other cars.
the top of the diesels has to be the golf though,around were i live i see more people drivin the golf GT TDI than the regular GTI turbo,and the diesel is just that bit faster,plus the torque in that engine is unbeleivable

Yeah, car wise, diesels aren't too common. But truck wise, alot of people have the dodges with the Cummons TDs in em. There ARE 12 second dodge trucks, I can show videos if you want.

Very popular in any elevated place. Seems like nearly every pickup you see in colorado is a diesel.

diesels are getting recognised here for putting out some worthy performance numbers. Bully Dog technologies has been comming out with some very good aftermarket parts for diesels lately.
