Have you ever thrashed a diesel, once they are out of their very narrow power band, they suck the juice. Untill someone brings out a diesel that doesnt feel like a falcon(which due to technical reasons, is not that easy), i will never like them.
Great for just driving around slowly, when they do return good fuel ecconomy but atleast not what i want.

Also, from experience, diesel engines are actully MORE EXPENSIVE to keep running correctly than a petrol engine, and have higher maintence, any diesel that smokes under anything but flat out acceleration is not running correctly and wasting fuel.

Just as a side note, Landcruiser and Patrol sales certainly seemed to have slumped since the mining boom

I havent driven one yet, though im sure it is proberly as quick as a NA petrol engine of the same size, though proberly down on torque. driven plenty of bmw and vw diesel's though and they all have a torque band of like 2500rpm max, how boring. But still, if it is the type of car that you like then go out and enjoy it.

Common diesels aren't exactly built to be thrashed?

Diesel torque > ULP torque.
