Hmmmm. A drag-racing Gremlin with AMC's Trans-am racing colors (aka: Mark Donohue AMX colors).

The straight six Gremlins were not fast, but have enough torque to pull a TD. Of course, I could drop a modern small-block into one.

CD :lol:

Not yet.

Look for some new Deisel models from Europe and Japan in the 2008 model year. And, very impressive ones, at that.

Audi makes TDi models that easily outperform a lot of gasoline engines.

Honda is going to bring over an Accord TDi.

VW has new TDi models coming on 08.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee will be available in a few months with the Mercedes TDi V6 from the E-Class -- I've already driven that Jeep TDi at Chrysler's proving grounds, and it was impressive.

I expect that the Mercedes TDi will make it into their full-sized cars, too, since those cars are based on Mercedes E-Class platforms. Look forward to a 300C and Charger TDi in the future.

GM and Ford? Who knows. Seems it is easier to close factories than to develop new products. (sigh)

BTW, to answere someone's question, I work for American Driver Media -- American Driver (new publication), and Texas Driver Magazine.

I got a chuckle out of your sig photo. I have owned a few boats, and had full-sized pickups to pull them. When I got rid of my last boat, I had a SeaDoo PWC. Pulling it with my FS Silverado always looked funny to me.
