Okay, you're losing almost 100hp and 80 ft.lbs. of torque and GAINING 600-800 lbs. of curb weight, let alone creating a very time consuming and bothersome alien hybrid of utterly stupid proportions. Fuel economy would be the main reason, of course, but, this thing would perform so poorly that you'd have it nearly floored to just maintain speed on the highway, let alone get appreciably better gas mileage to make the glacial accelleration worth tollerating.
What was this person on when they did this?
The reason why so many diesel variants of EU cars aren't brought over here is because the quality of the fuel here is relatively poor - poor enough that relatively extensive modifications to these engines are required.
