Jeep Liberty

Perhaps this is why they stopped putting diesels in Jeep Libertys? The official explanation was that the engines were too difficult to upgrade (downgrade really) to pass US emissions.

GM needs to change it's motto into something more like "The General Buyer & Seller of Companies." At least that's how they seem to have acted lately.

Maybe it would work out well, maybe it will just be another company to sell in a couple years and make a dramatic "cost savings."

I'd take one of those Caddy's with a diesel in it. Especially if the hp is good.
