It's a huge health concern, which is why countries and cities in Europe are beginning to ban them altogether.
The new diesels run 40% fewer particles than regular gasoline engines, so new diesel engines are less polluting.
There many articles available that proves that your opinion is outdated and in fact opposite is true for light duty vehicles (not talking about 18 wheelers).
Buying it for commercial use makes since but buying for personal use doesn't !!!!
It works for business and you'll see taxi companies using them !!!!
New York City tried to make that specific vehicle mandatory for all city-licensed taxis (a $1 billion giveaway to Nissan that stinks of corruption). Taxi companies said "That thing? What if we want to use something else? Such as a hybrid, or [gasp!] something made in America?" and sued.
Thankfully, a judge has told NYC "that's not how it works in America."

It's just as true for heavy duty vehicles as it is for light duty vehicles. Same principles at work... diesel engines have a much higher thermal efficiency rate, gasoline exhaust is less visible but actually substantially more of a health risk, and the aftertreatment system alleviates that concern, anyhow.

Pray tell, where is diesel actually banned? They might be going the California route and requiring pre-Euro 5/6 emissions vehicles to be phased out, but banning diesel outright, I don't think so. The diesel option for the NV200 platform is available only in Europe, which would seem pretty contrary to what you're trying to claim here.
My local Nissan dealer has told me next year that Nissan will be putting a diesel in their vans and other vehicles.

Nifty! I'd still like to know whatever became of plans to make that 5.0 V8 Cummins available in the Tundra and Ram 1500 (the latter ended up going with some Italian engine).
I like the look of the small van, like the 24 mpg in town but 24 on the highway? No way. If I owned something like this it would need to do double duty as a camping van.
That means, you're going to be facing a $7000 transmission replacement multiple times before 200,000 miles. Nissan's CVTs are extremely unreliable.
Other than that, they look like they are extremely useful. A set of snow tires and they'll go in the snow just fine.
