Are the diesels actually on dealers lots? It's been over a year sense the Promaster has been on the road. Will the dealers support the diesel? Does anyone know what the hold up was?

I was told the first diesels will arrive sometime in October. I am still waiting it out until I test drive one.

I just tested the gas promaster and am probably going to wait to test drive the diesel before buying too

I'd like to see/read feedback on diesel transmission's shifting, particularly on launch from full stop smoothness. I've only driven one car with automated manual transmission (a Ford dual clutch), and while the shifting was excellent between gears, launching from a stop was sometimes very jerky.

Obviously the PM transmission on diesels is a single clutch which will have much slower shifts by comparison, but I'm also concerned about launch control and smoothness.
