?

The only reputation turbo-diesels seem to be getting is one for emitting
vast doses of asthma-inducing particles.  There's talk of banning them
in some countries and imposing draconian exhaust filtering in others.
Most countries have also reversed their policies of promoting diesel
use via lower fuel taxation.

Advertisements for turbo-diesels in UK papers are almost non-existent.
