I have never driven a diesel so I don't have 1st hand knowledge of this. But while going through many threads here, I have come across some who complain that the diesel seems to lag when attempting to pass on the interstate. Or is sluggish when getting on the gas. That seems to be contradictory to what I heard, that the diesel makes it's torque and power early. I would think when you step on the gas and it downshifts, you would get more power which would make passing another vehicle seem effortless.

What am I missing?
