Maybe GM Is Going To Do Something Right

Autos Insider | AP sources: GM to sell diesel Chevy Cruze in U.S. | The Detroit News.
Hopefully this will encourage Ford to sell the Fiesta and the Focus with diesel engines.

I am actually surprised to see Chevy get the jump on Ford and Dodge.

Wait 'til the EPA gets involved in this "Un-Officially Announced Intent".

Get overseas.. 'lil dezels are run'n 'round All Over the place.. have been, for Years.

That would be awesome for Fords sake. If GM does do it and has some success, maybe Ford will do it too. Europe has done it for yrs and everyone knows how well diesels do over there. EPA just sucks! I'd own a small diesel over a gas vehicle. A small diesel truck is def overdue. Look at Austrailia. They got some sweet diesel trucks over there. Doesnt Brazil or Austrailia have a diesel Ranger??

I think so, I have seen them in Mexico, also.

Thats what I thought. Of course you always hear of a diesel bein put in an existing model but it never happens.

Ford should have a diesel option in every car through out its line up, I'm sure that with a small modern diesel the Escape and Edge wouldn't have a problem surpassing 30mpg hwy. On MB World a lot of ML owners are reporting that they routinely get 30 mpg + in those trucks (V6 3.0L TD 210hp 4XX tq). Its time for people to wake up, diesel no longer means noisy and smokey, well unless you want it to
