Well its bad but good too, however GM could kep the big vehicals if they would make a smaller diesel.. that doesnt have the track record of the old 350 diesels of the 80's GM really screwed the pooch on that one .. there full size diesels were plopping down 30+mpg, but the motors were lemons and never were very reliable..
Really they could make these full size SUVs pull down 30 MPG with a small diesel in them. 30mpg if far better than 15 mpg they get now.. but now a suv will accelerate like a rocket and have a top speed of 115.. or faster if there were no computer govenor on it.. GM!! you don't need to go 100mph 75's just fine..
case in point a suburban is about the size of the sprinter vans.. the sprinters easily pull down 30mpg with there small diesels..
