Another day, another dollar, and some stories to share with you guys

Tale #1: Tundra Terror

>weekend starts off normal enough, get forwarded sales call about Toyota Tundra we have on lot
>answer call, it is woman calling to ask if we have the vehicle still available, which we do
>explains her husband is in market for a Tundra, and that they live about 3 hours away
>they are going to spend the next day looking at trucks, and will be working there way to dealerships farther and farther out if they don't find one
>her husband wants to know if he can put down a deposit to hold the truck, and if we would refund it if they end up buying one before they get to us
>we usually don't do refundable deposits, but we haven't had much interest in this truck, so I go ask a sales manager if they want to work something out
>we agree to take a $100 refundable deposit on the truck, provided they contact us within the next 24 hours about wanting to see it or not, to hold it for him
>figure they will probably never make it out to us, seeing as we were the absolute last stop, but hey who knows
>skip ahead to the next day, and my cell phone rings, and it's the wife again
>her tone already sounds....strained, over the phone
>she is calling to say they are on the way in to see truck, that they did in fact make it all the way out to us
>I tell them that's fine, I go run the truck through the car wash to blast the pollen off, and park it up next to the showroom for when they get there
>already, my bullshit detector is going off
>a Tundra isn't a hard truck to find, the only reason you drive out 3 hours in NC is because you are super picky, or tossing out of the ballpark lowball offers
>neither was something I was particularly in the mood to deal with
>god help me if it turned out to be both (foreshadowing alert)
>but just about a half hour later, I see a car pull up, and my customers get out

>21 years after their last road car rolled out of the factory, Alpine makes a new one (A120/Vision)
>will be cheaper than a A110 is now (meaning under 80 000€)
>commercial production planned for 2017
>announced as the creation of a new brand, not simply a new car
>rumors of a possible Alpine SUV
Is anybody else hyped about this?

Just upgraded to one of these from a 2001 Civic. Really enjoying it so far, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss driving manual at times. What things do I have to look forward to in its ownership? Make me feel good about my purchase :-P

After two days, this is my assessment:

THE GOOD
>Clean, attractive exterior styling
>Cabin is a nice place to be
>Decent visibility by modern standards
>Pretty damn quick

THE BAD
>Automatic only :-(
>Limited headroom (I'm only 5'10")
>Exhaust note is nothing to write home about
>Anxiety from actually caring what happens to my car now

This thread is about the glorious Diesel engines such as;

Indenor XD 4.88
Ford 4AB
Mercedes OM602
Datsun SD22
Isuzu C190
Perkins 4.108

Please share your experience with these engines or similar.

Only rule is no turbo, coal burning, or electronics allowed.
And no VW shits.
