pah... I love turbo diesel noise

my/niges old one sounded a bit like a train if you stood next to it and reved it.... but from the inside... with a bit of turbo kick it sounded awesome :-)
straight 6 = win for diesels in my opinion too... 3rd gear would pull hard from 20mph to 80mph (which is good when you don;t have the rev range of a petrol)
crusing at 70mph was ~2k revs and hardly touching the pedal :-)
