Funny.  I was just thinking about this thread this weekend...  As I'm in need of a Bonneville tow vehicle/race hauler/thingy...

A bunch of makers are coming out with diesel cars and CUVs.. Mazda, Chevy, Cadillac..

but no small trucks... :-/

The Chevy Cruze in diesel sounds interesting.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I got a diesel F250 I'm probably going to sell.

I would GLADLY have a similar (or more) power producing diesel in my Dakota rather than the 4.7 V8 it has.  It's a good motor, but would take two diesels to equal its fuel consumption!
