Maybe 5 years ago putting in a diesel would have diluted the image, but these new diesels from all the German manufacturers are not just brilliant diesel engines, but brilliant IC engines regardless. Good power and masses of torque (allowing for explosive in gear acceleration), combined with fuel consumption that allows great touring range - something that a lot of people even if they do not care about car economy need to realise. They are just about as smooth and quiet as were petrol engines of the late 1990s early 2000s.

Let's just wait until Audi wins Le Mans with a diesel...
