I remember reading about this new engine and wanting it in a 1/2 ton truck. I sure hope they go forward with it. I will buy one.

I so want a half ton with an oil burner. Diesel power is pretty much the only reason I was thinking of stepping up to a 3/4 ton when I go to buy...

Europe is very different from North America. Different fuel prices (and therefore emphasis on fuel economy) and different regulations combine for a dramatically different gas to diesel ratio.

not to mention, wanting to go forward with it, and all the strings that are tied to launching a new powertrain combo (right when the economy tanked) was not a viable option at the time. that tied in with the epa requirements meant it was not a good time to go forward. same thing with why they didnt launch a Z28 at the start of camaro production. just give it some time and it will happen
