I come to the States a few times a year and I never heard about people who buy a diesel because it would be "something else". Did I miss something[?]

Yes, you did miss something. For one, diesels are not as common over here as they are in Europe, so there's not much talk of even someone owning a diesel or wanting a diesel.
Secondly, I have some neighbors who most likely can afford a FEW Maybachs if they wanted. They bought their daughter a VW New Beetle TDI. I'm sure they could've bought the most souped up, most bells and whistles equipped model they wanted with a gasoline engine in it, but they didn't. They have six other vehicles with V8 or bigger engines, so I think gas prices are the last thing on their minds. With that stated, do you have a probable idea why else they'd buy a diesel?
