A diesel it's a much better alternative to a gutless hybrid: same mpg or better, faster, more power, much more torque and so much more fun to drive.
What can be better than a 3.0 diesel with 260 hp / 413 lb-ft all while doing 40 mpg city and 55 highway?
Can someone explain?

What country in Europe are you from? I'm going to guess France since your view is prevalent there. Tell me if I'm wrong. In France you're aware that diesel has less tax than gasoline and is therefore cheaper, right? That is why people in France buy diesel cars. Nothing to do with performance or mileage. It's all about the sticker price at the pump. People will not see any further than that. Now revert the situation and make gasoline cheaper than diesel like in the US. You will find that most people buy gasoline cars.
It's as simple as that mon pote...
