It's time for a diesel census!
A few years ago I did similar poll asking people which diesel models they like. This time I'm asking people which cars they actually own, and I mean currently (no past ownerships). Please don't include junk or parts cars, only cars in running condition that your household owns. This should be fun! I predict that W123 diesels are still the most abundant.

I just attached a poll (apparently the thread itself got posted first), so please (re)submit your results!

Yes this is a diesel poll, so even in the "Other" category put only diesel vehicles and then you can specify the actual model in your post. I just realized I didn't include the fairly rare W140 diesel, but I wouldn't have space for it anyway because the poll can only have up to 10 entries so just include it in the "Other".

The problem with the poll is you can only vote once per model.
Like the man said, check my sig.

Down to...
...only one at the moment. Would like to find a 240d or a n/a 300d at some point in the future. Honestly, I miss my '85 already, but...at least I know it went to a good home!

I'm not surprised to see the W123 Diesels in the lead. Except for a handful of 280 sedans and coupes, practically EVERY new W123 in the USA from 1977-85 was a 240 or 300 diesel.
And they sold quite a few of them. There was a huge gas crisis in the early 80s and they were especially popular, even despite the GM diesel catastrophe that began in 1978. I went W123 shopping in 1980, and in the Northern California area then all you could find were diesels- I wasn't sure whether I wanted a diesel or gas one or not.
