Diesel Petition
For several years, the VM Motori diesel division of Roger Penske (now owned by Chrysler/Fiat) has installed diesel engines in the US for export to Europe.
The latest version is a 3.0 V6, lightweight, fuel sipping monster that gets 34 mpg highway and 28.3 mpg combined city/highway. This engine has 245 HP and 406 lb ft. of torque. More than the Cummins 5.9 had in 2003!
Chrysler doesn't think there is enough interest in the US to sell it here. Help us prove them wrong by adding your name to the list!
Thanks!
