A nice in-line 4 banger turbo charged diesel would be a great addition to US light truck market..
The problem is our selling Diesel to the Euro weenies and to the Chinese..
Which is why diesel is higher now ..during it's traditional off season..
If this winter is cold...add to that exporting the home heating oil crunch and a large turbo diesel will be the least economical engine to own
imo

It's a 2.8L, common-rail injection turbo unit from VM Motori, sold in the Liberty SUV, and it's good for 160 HP @ 3800 RPM and 295 lb-ft of torque at 1800 RPM. Apparently DCX has sold 6000 already this year and their target was 5000.
