The big win is that diesel is nasty and nobody enjoys breathing in diesel exhaust. Most Americans don't realize how awful diesel exhaust is because almost nobody drives them, so you aren't exposed to it as a pedestrian or person living near a well-used road.

It doesn't combat overall pollution, but it does improve the quality of life for people living in urban areas.

There are many automakers that are still putting diesels in cars and trucks, they just arent advertised on the tailgate.
