Been looking forward for the next vehicle being a diesel as a daily driver. That's all I care about - torque and mpg ;-)
Mercedes Benz has it right as do most european MFG's. But once you get in the truck line the outside noise increases. I say outside because on the inside you don't hear it near as much. I use to own a Peugoet Diesel. Very old technology. Loud on the outside, very quiet on the inside. People use to ask why the engine was so loud. I would always say, it's a diesel I'm not outside so i don't hear it.
