406 lb.-ft. of torque

 

406ftlbs...that is bad ****!!
Now...what are the chances of this making its way into, oh...I dont know...a Colorado?
How about this...what if the BASE V6 in the Silverado was this engine?

 

Indeed. 250 hp / 406 lbft and great fuel economy? Sign me up.

Also notable is that it fits longitudinally and transversely.

 

Mmmm, yes, but what in GM's set up can handle 400ftlbs transversely?
Diesel option for Lambda?

 

I'd love to see that engine in the US market.

 

very nice--they should bring it over here. But the 406-ft-lbs is way too muc for the FWD 6 speed auto to handle.

 

Full time AWD to handle the 406ft lbs maybe????

 

A small displacement v6 diesel making that kind of power is pretty cool. I definitely wonder what kind of powertrain they have in mind to handle that kind of power.

 

I have to imagine some form of this motor is going to be the optional small diesel motor we've been hearing about for the regular 1/2 ton trucks.

I really wonder what has taken so long for Chevy/Ford to offer a smaller diesel in the smaller trucks. I would think it'd be a pretty popular option, gas prices being what they are and all.

 

This article must be fake, only imports can make power with small engines and have more horsepower per liter .

 

CTS-d

Sorry, I had to. I wonder how much more the diesel will cost?

 

It says "sold mostly in europe", but I doubt we'll get it. I am hoping, of course.

 

That engine would be great for the VE too. And the Hummer H3. Lots of good uses for it methinks.

 

Don't you mean CTS-TDi? (being pedantic I know)

 

can anyone explain why diesel costs more right now, and since when?
