Not on this side of the Atlantic, I'm afraid!  Certain powers that be
decided that Americans would be happier driving gas guzzlers instead of fuel
saving
Turbo-Diesels, while Europeans have a wide choice of Diesel motors, from a
3-cylinder TDI to a 300 HP V-8.

My last Mercedes Turbo Diesel with 150HP ran very well, thank you.
VW TDI Jetta I recently tested had impressive performance, too.
