And that's why diesel jeep libertys sell for 20-30% more than identical gas models.
People actually BUY used Libertys? ;D

Yes.  Aggressively.  I looked at one at a dealer.  He wouldn't budge on the price saying he'd sell it within a day. He did.

"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.

We've had the Iveco daily 4x4 for about six months now, with much abuse.

Best 4x4 I've ever driven. Makes our 70 series landcruiser look like a toy. It carries about 2 tonnes on the tray and another 3.5 in a trailer without so much as a murmur. Does 110 on the highway easily, and nothing ever stops it.

My one complaint is the 3:1 "we mean it this time" low range. I mean, wtf? The things got a max speed of maybe 20km/h when you engage that. 2:1 would have been much more useful. It's got a 1.3:1 low range as well, which is all we ever use, and then rarely.

I can't say enough positive stuff about it. It's good on fuel, comfy, reliable, and tough as nails. We're set when the zombie apocalypse comes.

I just went and read up on those.  We don't get them here, but they sound pretty impressive!

I think that's the point of this thread. :P

BTW I just wanted to mention that some Americans are to stupid to own a diesel, yet they do.

I'm going to assume those are modified a bit or something, my ratty old school bus doesn't even smoke that much on a sub-zero full throttle start.

They're maps specifically designed to do that. It's called "rolling coal"...and yes, it is f'ing stupid.
