Well, GM doesnt seem to be taking the diesel charge, but VW and BMW are. IMO, they should. GM can then follow them over. BMW has a bunch of new Effiecny Dynamics commercials talking about the "new" diesel engines in the 335di and the X5d.
GM has a crap load of awesome class leading diesels, but untill American's change thier perception on diesel's, its gunna be shoveling **** against the tide.
