Why aren't there more Diesels?

I'm driving in my wifes Nissan Pathfinder and thinking about how nice it would be with a turbo diesel engine. The Pathfinder gets 19 mpg. VW has had really good success with their diesel cars here in the U.S.(with the 45mpg). The Jetta TDI has really good power and economy. What if that engine were in a Jeep or small SUV? 30mpg? It probably wouldn't be any slower than the 4 cyl gas engine. Worried about emissions? Bio-Diesel. Are there any suv or small trucks with diesel engines in different countries? andy
