Compact diesel trucks.

I wish Internation Harvester still made diesel Scouts/pickups. I always wanted one of the diesels, I bought a 79 Scout with the 345v8, that sucker would run. Wish I still had that. Never understood why GM didn't come out with pickup with a Detroit diesel.

As I've said here before, I would love to have a small diesel pickup, but I probably wouldn't buy one if it was offered because I have to drive by perhaps 30 gas stations to find one that sells Diesel around here. It's not a long drive, but I'd feel kind of silly driving considerably out of my way (and wasting fuel) to get fuel.

I think I am the only one on this board that gets this

I remember when the guy he's quoting got his start by making fun of Rio Linda.

I would love to see a Duramax Suburban, a diesel VW Toureg, a diesel 1/2 ton from anybody, and/or a diesel sedan!

The diesel Toureg exists; maybe they will import it now. Don't the Jetta and Mercedes qualify as sedans?

You're not the only one who thinks that way... Go on Ebay and check out how much the 1980's diesels are selling for. I've seen early 1980's Toyota pickup trucks selling for over $5000 and VW Rabbits going for $3000 to $4000!

I wouldn't know why old rabbits would bring that kind of money...there are new gas cars that get as good or better mileage. Must be a nostalgia thing. You know, longing for the days of 30,000 mile timing belts and 50 hp under the hood.

My Dad had the VW diesel Rabbit pickup. Not the kind of diesel I'm looking for. I want a diesel with some power, common rail, DI, turbocharged, quiet, clean, you know all the new innovations that make a diesel worthwhile in my opinion. Sure he had great mileage, but the price he paid for that mileage perfromance wise he may have been better off with pedals to power the little truck.

Or was that Joey Mitchel on KRAK advertising for the Hiney Winery in downtown Lincoln, where you could get your Hiney in a six pack to go. Or, you could get it in a clear bottle so you could see your Hiney

The Cummins press release in post #18 is a fairly long-winded article that talks about almost everything except the engine they are going to make.

It doesn't say that it will be a 'V' engine but others have posted that it will be. I hate to see that. Cummins has tried 'V' engines before with poor results.
