If the Cruze Diesel achieves around 42 MPG with an automatic, it'll be appealing to a lot of people.
Right now I'm guessing low to mid 40s for an automatic, and close to 50 for a manual. Just a guess.

Its an exciting venture for any american car maker. Im glad to see gm taking a step forward in this class that has up until now been ignored for so long. Mainly because of ignorance though im sure there are many more factors taken into consideration. Either way its promising.
I would like to see a platform similar to this in a light duty diesel truck offering as well the suv/crossover segment.
