ALvaro.....I can't let you get away with THIS one! My Brera 2.4 JTDM, with a modest engine re-map (done the day after I bought it, new) takes the BHP figure to 265, same as the 3.2 V6 petrol Brera. The torque figure, in standard tune is higher than the V6, since the re-map it's astoundingly better. Couple this with fuel consuption figures that a V6 owner can only dream about, and I can't think of 2 reasons why ANYBODY with a brain in their head would prefer a petrol V6. (The one reason I CAN think of is of course, the noise - but the diesel does have a fine raspy throat when opened up)
In your list of vehicles that are OK with diesel engines, you forgot to mention the Audi Le Mans and Sebring winners.
