All the Mercedes CDI/BlueTec engines are direct-injected, and I don't think you can buy one in the US without a turbo.
The BMW M57/N57 in the 330d/335d is turbocharged and direct-injected.
Cummins has been making direct-injected turbodiesels since forever—manufactured in the US, to boot.
If you meant specifically the VW TDI engine, then yes, VW is the only game EVERYWHERE.

What I meant was every European carmaker makes a comparable small inexpensive diesel with similar performance and economy.
Citroen, Peugeot, Renault, Fiat, Skoda etc.
Where are they? Not here...
