Really if it was just for the cars you guys ought to move here and I should move to the states (its not just about the cars though is it).
Autotragic transmissions are very common here, but diesel engines in anything smaller than a 3/4 ton truck are generally a rarity. If you took your search for the diesel/auto combo to the U.S., you'd probably still wind up with a 300D or 300SD.
