In an effort to show how serious GM is getting about diesel, they also bought out half of an Italian diesel engine company.

I've also heard rumors that Ford and Chrylser will follow suite with the diesel half tons. I'd be pretty happy driving a single cab, short wheel base, turbo diesel F-150. Especially after some purchases at places like Bully Dog.
For now, I drive a 2.5L Ranger everyday, and while I get mid to high 20s for mileage. I can't help but always think how much of a better truck it could be if it had a 4cylinder turbo diesel. More power, more torque (the ingredient trucks always need more of), and just as good if not better fuel economy.
