I doubt you'd know if you were behind a new diesel vehicle. Without the noise and smoke you're looking for, how would you know?
There are many diesel engines swapped into vehicles worldwide, the US is probably the country with the lowest uptake. Partly because GM made some of the worst diesels the world has ever seen.
In fact my vehicle was originally petrol, had a 3.5L V8 petrol thrown out and a 3.9L turbo diesel thrown in.
I'd never go back.
