I do like the fact that diesels have in general more torque at lower rpm as compared to most gasoline engines. I've had several cars and pickup trucks with diesel engines and have all good to say about all of them but I own/Wife's car, Volvo 3.0 inline 6 cyl. engine with twin turbo and the larger turbo is engineered to provide low end power and torque also preventing any turbo lag. Very nicely engineered engine design. Volvo really did a great job at designing it IMO. Curious why Ford didn't offer turbo system on the V10. May not be a possible thing to do, but if it was, would possibly make a big difference in power band, more torque on lower rpm end and maybe better fuel mileage.
