I voted NO. We have the new 2012 engines here. Class 8. I wouldn't buy a new diesel from any manufacturer. If you do, buy the extended warranty. Trust me on this...

Well, you better be glad FLMAN said it instead of you, because if you had said it there would have been heck to pay for sure……… Enforced by the Redundancy Police.

looks like the petition is an entire 10 strong so far, I imagine Jeep is going to be jumping through hoops to get on of these out the door to the 10 of you?

And I see 1336 at the website so far, so maybe 10% of these people will pony up for a new diesel Jeep, 45% are dreaming and the other 45% hope to get a used one in the distant future?

Well,

I knew that as soon as Jeep was bundled into Chrysler it was doomed.

Now who bought Chrysler (besides uncle sam) it was Fiat wasn't it?

OK, so, unless Jeep gets bought by a "respectable" car company, (not sure who that would be) the whole product line is... squat as far as I am concerned.

I also think there are many, many more reasons than just the EPA - that small diesels are not in the U.S fleet.

80% or so of the cars in Europe are diesel. Why is that? Don't say because of the EPA in the U.S. It's more insidious than that.

On Top Gear the UK based car show did a real world driving "race" by the show's celebs from somewhere in France to a little coastal town north of London. It was strictly a "best mpg wins" type race. They did have a time deadline so as to keep it interesting. If I remember right there three cars two of which were diesel. The Jaguar that Jeremy Clarkson drove was a diesel and got 56 mpg!!!!! yup 56 mp(gallon) not liter!!! Also look at this diesel hybrid from Peugeot http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/Peugeot-Citroen

There is much more than "market" conditions as the reasons that the car makers are not selling diesels in the U.S.

To bring my post full circle and to make a point, the Liberty was delivered (OUS) in diesel format since 2002 yes???

Until we get things like this:

in this country... It isn't worth doing ANYTHING. I want to know how to import a vehicle as a "kit car" or as a custom show car. To hell with registering it, I'll worry about that once I get it into the country.

I'd rock that 3.2lt all day!!!!!!! It's crazy, I'm in a hot debate on another forum with people still in love with their gas engines, I just don't understand.

Dude, that diesel Ranger looks awesome.
Too bad Ford, an American car compay from Detroit MI, wont sell it here.

Lets hope Mazda has the balls to sell their version here in the U.S.

Hey guys,

I'm Dan, the original author of http://jeepdieselpetition.com

To be clear, the 3.0 diesel from VM/Motori has passed US smog testing.

Jeep simply need to decide to use it, and they can. No more government tests to pass.

We've got 2400 signatures now, so get the word out there and lets get some more signatures!

-Dan

I think Jeep should put a diesel engine option in every Jeep they sell. With Fiat as the owner they have lots of diesel engines to choose from. My 06 CRD that runs on free fuel is an amazingly great vehicle.

I signed.
