That being said, I don't think we would get it in the US market. We always suck hind tit on Toyota innovation in the US.

Sadly, the day of the diesel engine as an economic proposition is over. Diesel fuel is over 25% more expensive than gasoline, effectively nullifying any advantage it used to have. When you factor in the added premium of a diesel engine over a gas powered one that is the final nail in the coffin.
No the most cost effective engine is a small gas one in the lightest car possible.
