GM Cancels 29mpg 4.5L Diesel Engine
Just heard that GM dropped the 4.5L Diesel that claimed to get 29mpg highway. This was intended for the Silverado/Yukon/Suburban/Sierra line.
Nice work Obama.

Why'd they drop it?
29mpg and able to pull a Toy-Hauler: sounds like the perfect family truckster to me. |

we would all rather ride around in little shoe boxes with fart cans right? At least that's what they tell us we should want.

i'm gonna drive around in my Lemans after ripping off the cat, with baby seal skin seat covers and shellaced humpback whale eyes to replace the headlights. i'm also looking for a way to make it run on burning styrofoam.

or maybe they over exagerated their feat and are getting out before getting called out on it.

if it works for you then enjoy it, I won't try to convince you otherwise. It doesn't work for me at all. I have a Jeep for winter days when they haven't plowed our roads. (live out in the country, no plow sometimes for a couple days) I also have a truck to haul building supplies to work on my house. I don't need or want some little shit box car that is useless except for the most basic transportation. |
