I simply ask because they will certainly use that as some of a measuring stick to test the temperature of that water a bit....

If all the people in this thread put the $ where their mouth is, it should be a success.   

I wish it was a year sooner, I am in the market, and I would consider it.

I won't put my money on an Chevisuzu S10/Colorado because I am just.....well....I'll shut my mouth from going any further on that....but if the VW Amorok came here, I'd be the 1st in our dealership totally putting a downpayment on one...

Exactly.

I shall wait to see power numbers and MPG ratings before dropping my tacoma like a sack of rocks. Maybe toyota will actually *gasp* update the tacoma with this new competition......probably not judging from their "redesigned" tundra.

Exactly.

politics for you too?

I'd like to get my hands on a left-hand steer Land Rover Defender with its little 2.2 Diesel.  I really like the powerplant of my Jeep Liberty Diesel, but everything else, the detuning of the motor to protect the transmission, the pollution control inefficiencies, crappy seats, etc are a little frustrating.  By the time I get all the bugs worked out of it, I'll have quarter million miles on it.

Not to mention my learned disdain for GM vehicles.

Who makes that LR diesel motor?

Didn't they steal the 2.2 l design from a competitor?

From what I can tell, the new 2.2 td engine Land Rover is using is a Ford Duratorq.  Anyone know better?

190 hp.. 317 ft lb torque.. not bad.

They're not going to offer the diesel version until 2016? Sheesh, give me a break.
Looks like I might be driving a Dodge Ram 1500 EcoDiesel by then

I love this truck.
