I'm not sure that's really helping matters for people who'd like to see passenger car diesels. Those trucks sound like a Freightliner semi tractor off the line at a stoplight, complete with belching black clouds. So that only reinforces the image of diesels as noisy, smoky, and slow.
Not in their stock configuration, unless the air filter is plugged. Anything made since about 1998 is going to make slightly less smoke than a well tuned 617. Lots of guys buy them, put a 3.5 or 4" straight pipe on them, and chip the computer. Result: Sounds like a semi tractor, and smokes like one too.
