Aren't we a 3rd world now? We should be able to buy them....

Good thing for the rest of us, parts will continue to be made.

The only problem is the Americanized parts (emission system) will still be the problem.

You notice what GM has done with the 3.0 L
They combined the SCR with the DPF and they call it the SCRF mounted directly on the turbo output for maximum heat. The temperature in the SCRF is so high it burns off soot as you drive. Most of it.
And if you short trip they dump some diesel fuel into the exhaust to raise the temperature in the SCRF and are still able to burn off the soot.
There is no regen as we know it.
limited EGR (Pre and After SCRF) causes a lot more DEF usage but it seems to be worth it considering EGR carbon issues have all but been eliminated.
The LZ0 3.0 may be a real game changer in diesel reliability when saddle with emissions.
Edit there is a regen but much more efficient than other diesels

My wife and I took a trip to Italy this past summer. Everything was diesel over there.

Been there numerous times. Diesel more fuel efficient. Also many manual transmission rentals vs automatic.
You pay a premium for an automatic and a diesel due to demand.
