The diesels sold in the U.S. are the same as those sold in Europe,
assuming that's what you mean by yours and ours.

Well, you couldn't be more off the mark. A modern common-rail injected
turbocharged automotive diesel engine with particle filter or catalyzer
is something really, really rare on US roads. And no, it isn't smelly
at all.

I went to visit a friend a couple of weekends ago. I didn't even realise
his new car was a diesel until he mentioned it the next day. It didn't
sound like a diesel, it didn't smell like a diesel.
