A couple of points:

Always loved Bob Lutz's anology on CAFE. "It's like trying to get a guy to lose weight by making him wear smaller size pants"

Diesels, while nice, are expensive and require you to "pee in a bottle" (DEF, which is urea, which is?.................pee). And they are harder to meet US emissions standards. I am very curious to how the 2013 Cruze diesel will sell.
