Jealous? Here's a list of European sport diesel coupes the U.S. can't have

Like cabrios, the "sport coupé" car segment has traditionally never been associated with diesel cars. But diesels have evolved - a lot - and modern sparkplug-less powertrains almost match gasoline cars in terms of sound-proofing and comfort while keeping fuel consumption down. The only issue is that these models listed after the jump, and correct me if I'm wrong, are only available for Europeans, where taxes on fuels and purchase schemes based on engine displacement and CO2 emission levels favor diesel.

Check after the jump for a list that shows a significant diesel sport coupé for many car models. The list also includes four-door coupes and sport hatchbacks, which are marketed as coupes in Europe. All these models will get you cruising on the Autobahn at a high speed on a classy - and diesel - ride.
