No!.. they have expertize alright... the problem is politics... the problem is always politics...

(at least in europe they also sell other very good small passenger cars on diesel (yaris i think)... don't know all the lines of toyota... but think diesel options is present in most of them)
My apology for that, but the wiki page you linked showed that not until the second generation Avensis did they achieve 170hp in a 2.2L diesel.
2L? Never made it. About the average performance with Honda and Nissan, but I'm afraid not the earliest.
