I think 'were' is the operative word, I had an old diesel pick up which, yes, drove like a tractor. I now have a modern one which is surprisingly refined and drives like a car. It will also do 40mpg, not bad for 2.75 tons of unaerodynamic metal.
Audi did win Le Mans with a diesel if my memory serves me right.

That really surprises me give how awful they are / were. I remember an old Top gear where they reviewed a state of the art diesel M series BMW - seemed laughable that anyone would choose it over the petrol at the same sticker cost.
Will have a watch though, thanks for sharing.
