Silly MAC, don't you know that as an enthusiasts you make up less than 1% of GMs customers, how many yuppies looking for something intimidating to drive (with a name that they feel gives them prestige) care about the virtues of a diesel? Now these buyers will buy a V8 in a heartbeat, cause everyone "needs" more power you know..

P.S. -- I'm with you MAC, I want a nice turbo diesel under the hood..
