I don't think the article was about People buying under $2,000 Diesel Cars or Trucks.

All of the Gasoline powered Cars I have owned like My, Toyota Corona, 177 cubic inch Plymouth Valiant or several Chevy Chevettes I have owned have been low powered Cars.

So, going Diesel was not much different.

Now the Chevy Astro Van I own is another matter. If you drive the Van for a week or 2 the fist day of driving the Mercedes takes a bit of adjustment.
