2013 Diesel Cruze?
Now this could be interesting! I'm looking forward to seeing more about it...
Chevy Cruze Diesel Sorry if it's a repost - didn't see it elsewhere. |
Now thats what I'm talking about! It's about time that the big boys in Detroit woke up. I'm really glad to hear that they will most likely be selecting a proven power plant...so this doesn't end up blowing up in their faces (350 diesel anyone?).
If it ever does show up here, and its with a proven motor I would love to trade in the Jetta for a Chevrolet with similiar mileage. |
...which will it be? A 2013 model available in 2013, or a 2014 model available in 2013?

GM has been running really good diesels in their overseas market cars for a long time. The Cruze is a rebadged, federalized Euro car that has been out for a while. Guess folks are making the big boys bring what should have been here years ago.

do not buy 1st generation GM / Korean cars
Government Motors brings another
disaster to America designed in Korea , manufactured in Korea and Ohio and who knows where else. using the Daewoo Aveo as an example do not buy 1st generation products from GM / Korea /Daewoo VW Jetta / golf is the answer for now if you want quality diesel products in North America |
10% more expensive fuel, expensive engine, expensive emissions control, low rev limit, GM build quality.

bio diesel and incorrect oil cause many problems
260000 kilometers
with what oil ? does it matter , you betcha . i have seen this , most of the time it is because the customer , used INcorrect UNspecified oil for the car . , BIO diesel , do not use BIO diesel in any VW or Audi just don't , you can not imagine the levels of carbon deposits resulting from incorrect fuel s . sure any complex system can have failures but VW does their best to eliminate them and will do what ever they can to warranty a defect. problems installed by the driver sometimes even get warranteed for best results use the VW specified oils , LL03 504 / 507 in the common rail diesel engines nothing else *********************************** remember that VW has been building diesel engines for use in the USA since the early 80s without a taxpayer funded bailout - somehow VW is still profitable while Government Motors is gasping and struggling to meet financial obligations , many of which it will NEVER repay to US , the American citizen taxpayer . |
The biggest issue i see with diesel engines in US is fuel prices are a lot higher and availability is not as good .
hmm, they claiming 41 mpg , but the gas cruze eco does 42mpg AFAIK . So I think it would need to be like somewhere in 42+ -45mpg range to make it worth while . |
I'll believe it when I see it
