Diesel Chevy Cruze for North America
GM Inside News says a North American diesel-powered Chevy Cruze may be a real possibility.
Problems:
34mpg
Diesel costs more than regular unleaded in the United States
$29k after converting AU currency to USD
Positives:
A mountain of torque.
Unless Chevrolet offers the car with a lower price and better fuel economy (giving it the CruzeEco and/or eAssist BAS hybrid treatment), its unlikely to see any success over here.
