diesel sounds great but what's wrong with gas? What would be so beneficial?

More fuel efficient, much more useable torque, far greater engine life, and it sounds cool.

diesel is expensive to maintain isn't it???

Is it? I've never found that to be the case, especially if you look at the costs involved in runninga diesel for 500k miles compared to running a gas engine for 500k miles.

What is amazing though is how long GM have taken to get a diesel H2 to market. If Jeep put one in the JK four door first, I may just join the dark side </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Diesel JK next year???????

Diesels are the shiznit. They are simple engines. There is no ignition system, they are more efficient at using fuel, they are not more expensive to maintain, if anything, in the long run, they are cheaper, wider torque band that starts much, much lower in the rpm range.

Plus they run drowned in water as long as you have an intake not ingesting the water...... ie - no electrical ignition components to get wet.

Was messing with a Jeep Liberty diesel this weekend and with the hood closed, after about 15 seconds past startup, you wouldn't know it was a diesel. Plus it came with a Red Top Optima from the factory.
