I have preferred diesels because of towing capacity, but could be tempted by the new petrol turbo due to the incerase in torque. I am mainly interested in difference in how strong they feel, not 0-60 numbers. Example, 4.8 kills the diesel 35 (3.0sd) in a 0-60 sprint, but in real life, on the highway, the diesel feels like it is pulling stronger when you overtake. It also feels stronger when you tow something.
