Two stroke in general never really took off in the car segment. The disadvantage of 2 stroke Diesels is that they need a supercharger to make em work. Why design a complicated 2 stroke engine when it is far easier to build a four stroke. Petrol two strokes don't need a supercharger and are relatively light, which makes them ideal for applications where horsepower is needed but a heavy engine isn't. Such as chainsaws, motorcycles (particularly off road ones) and a variety of other special things. Perhaps with the introduction of CDI technology we may see a two stroke Diesel in cars, or even small Diesel motors in general.
