Why should the type of car matter? It's just an engine, you make it a bit more compact and it will fit in a sedan. Voila, you have a diesel sedan. Sales of diesel sedans have been slowly decreasing in most European countries Inn recent years, but it wasn't that long ago that more than half of all passenger cars (in some countries) were diesel. Of the 4 cars I've owned, 2 were diesel.
Yeah, 11 million diesel vehicles were recalled by VW -- nearly all were ordinary cars (they don't even make a heavy truck). Mercedes, BMW, Audi, VW all sell (or used to sell) diesel cars in the USA. They all certainly do in Europe, where they're joined by all the European brands like Renault and Seat.
Post-scandal, fewer manufacturers are selling them in the US, but there are millions sold every year worldwide in plain old passenger cars.
