Why no diesel?

I LOVE diesels and I feel very disappointed at how underrepresented they are in the US. Well engineered diesel engines provide fuel economy on par with hybrid vehicles but without any extra weight or complicated (ie. unreliable?) hybrid technology. See for example the new BMW 118d - 1.8 diesel, 141hp, 221 ft/lbs, 0-60 in 8.8s, and still 59 mpg! Now compare that to the prius or whatever other contraption of this type and you'll see that fine tuning existing technology can give you great gas mileage without sacrifice of ride quality, comfort, and pleasure :D
