Keep in mind that to be smog legal (low NOx) in the US diesels will pretty much need urea injection, a pricey maintenance item.  It looks like VW is going to buy back a lot of US diesels because of this: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/29/business/international/volkswagen-says-a-diesel-fix-may-not-be-possible-for-some-cars.html 


Bottom line is "clean diesel" and "affordable" are mutually exclusive here.

Well, I'll take the TDI with a 6 speed and the Tonke conversion, even if it looks a little like a standard minivan.
cheers!
