Caliber Diesel In Us? Rate Topic: -----

If you were a registered user, you would not be seeing this!

I'm a big diesel fan, I have an '03 Ram with the Cummins, love the performance, and, for what it is (7000lb+ truck geared for pulling) mileage is very reasonable, in the low 20's. Just the same, fuel costs are painful, I drive over 500 miles a week, and EVERYTHING costs more for a truck. I'm looking for a more fuel efficient vehicle, and am thinking about either a Caliber, or VW Jetta Diesel. The Jetta's are running 45-50mpg on the highway, hard to beat that. On the other hand, I like the styling, price and made in USA features better on the Caliber. Any rumours of the turbo-diesel coming to the US market?

Thanks.
Bri

I feel that - at some point - there will be a diesel Caliber offering. Just not soon enough for some.
