The big difference between these engines when it comes to low RPM torque is the turbo charger. There are turbocharged, direct injection gas engines available in production cars that are a match for the latest DM,PS or Cummins when it comes to low RPM torque per liter of displacement and blow them away when it comes to peak HP. Fuel economy and durability may be a different story however.
Although I agree with you to a point, when your talking car engines I'd still take the diesel.
546 lb ft and 381 HP 3.0 liter 45 mpg diesel
