Isuzu has a new generation of automotive diesel engines that are designed to be quieter and less "smelly" than present engines are. They are less smelly because they are putting catalytic converters on them. I think the manufacturers have to install them now. My diesel truck has one and it doesn't smell like the older diesels at all. The exhaust smells a bit like vinegar.

"catalytic converters" are about useless on a diesel in the US because of our high sulfur fuel.
