Would you buy a diesel 9-5 if it came to the US?

The US is still so adverse to diesel, due in part to lack of diesel car choice, and from past experiences. I have a 335d for work that sits alongside my 9-5 Aero wagon, and I can tell you that the 335d may have the best engine available in the US. 425lbft of torque, neck snapping power, and I just got 36 mpg coming back from a business trip. I love my Saab(s), but this car is truly phenomenal all around.
While I don't have my hopes up, I'd love to see the 9-5 diesel come to the US. My question is, how many others would even contemplate it?? I'd buy a new 9-5 diesel XWD wagon in a heartbeat...even if it was an 8 or 9 second to 60mph car.
Cheers,
Paul H
