I can imagine they are very popular in Marin and the peninsula. Surprisingly I've only seen one model X so far here in LA. I didn't realize these modern diesels still sound terrible, are they really that bad?

"I didn't realize these modern diesels still sound terrible, are they really that bad?" You know the somewhat recent Jetta TDI (2.0 ? 1.8 ?) that's really, really loud ? They're not quite that bad. But they're loud, and the loud they make is an antique loud. A non-precision loud. Noises that nice new luxury cars shouldn't make. I am in europe regularly for rsync.net and the diesel A6 and A8 (among others) are not any better. It's really just a terrible aesthetic. I don't know why people put up with it.
