The new emission standards for diesels are going to be really tough I hear. This may have something to do with a new engine's release date in the US.. I know the "big truck" guys are saying that meeting the upcoming emmisions requirements for diesel engines is going to add about 10K to the price of the truck, I'm sure the increase on a pickup with an emissions compliant diesel will be up a proportionate amount, too. With new vehicle sales the way the are, I can understand the reluctance of a manufacturer to dump a bunch of money into a totally new engine in order to make it meet the upcoming new standards....
