Jeep Discontinuing Diesel Liberty In The US

[02SilverStroke]

This is hard to believe, but Jeep is discontinuing the US diesel Liberty because they say the costs of converting to the new emissions standards are too much. I thought it was already meeting the standards, but evidently not.
Here's the article: http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060605/AUTO01/606050348/1148

Evidently their dedication to a diesel Liberty wasn't too hot. They offered a product in haste to demand for more fuel efficient vehicles without considering the future. Everyone has known for a long time that the emissions regulations were going to get stiffer for 2007. Guess Bill Engvall needs to say "Here's your sign!!!"

This is what Dodge is probably going to do for their Diesel Engine (well, at least this is the rumor)
