A bunch of makers are coming out with diesel cars and CUVs.. Mazda, Chevy, Cadillac..

The Chevy Cruze in diesel sounds interesting.

I would GLADLY have a similar (or more) power producing diesel in my Dakota rather than the 4.7 V8 it has.  It's a good motor, but would take two diesels to equal its fuel consumption!
