I know in the past some people didn't like diesels because they 'seemed so dirty'....but is that still the case ?

CA wont like diesels because of their pollution. And in any case, the long term trend in gas vs diesel prices is diesel is more expensive. Like hybrids, diesels don't make sense economically. Bottom line diesels cost more to own, same as hybrids.
