There's a Canyon coming as well.
Considering how the midsize market is currently owned by Tacoma, if GM plays their cards right they could have a hit on their hands. Fuel economy will be the name of the game with these trucks.

It would be nice to see the 4 cylindaer Duramax make it into the US market. I built an S-10 about 8 years ago and put an Isuzu 2.2 ltr in it. If I knew the price of gas would be as high as it is, I would have kept it.

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.

I am very intersted in a Cruze Diesel. I drive about 30 thousand miles a year and I would like to think a Cruze Diesel would last a long time.
