They've had them for decades in Europe and the reason the US will not get them is they stink, smoke, sound like trucks, and cost a lot exactly like your paternal grandfather did before he died. The latest turbodiesel engines from Mercedes, BMW, and Volkswagen are free from all of these problems.

Now they don't, but they sure did 20 years ago. Americans like their cars to be smooth, quiet, powerful, and clean. Diesels like that are a new thing by any account. The clean dirty part is the latest improvement, special high tech catalytic converters are being introduced lately by the big European makers. They cost too much but at least they exist.
