Default 3L - 195kw, 620nm, 6.1L/100km - Build a bloody Turbo Diesel Falcon already!

From Wheels: http://motoring.ninemsn.com.au/cars/...class-facelift

the new c-class mercedes (nearly as heavy as a falcon these days):
"Its upgraded 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 now produces 195kW and 620Nm (up 30kW/110Nm), yet the slurp drops to 6.1L/100km (ADR average, down from 7.4)"

I have driven a 2007 merc c-class. it had a 1.9L 4cyl turbo diesel which made 400nm torque! and felt super smooth with the torque and quite rapid.

why cant they at least put that 2.7/3.0L jaguar turbo-diesel into the falcon like they have with the territory? imagine how sweet and smooth it would be to drive a 500nm falcon that only uses about 7-8l of diesel per 100km?
