Diesels are beasts when it comes to torque. Actually, over in Europe they have diesel variants of the Audi, BMW, Mercedes, etc. Their diesel counterpart is usually cheaper, faster and gets better gas mileage.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.
