I was watching Motorweek on PBS this morning and it looks like next week they will have a long term wrap-up on their CRD. Set your Tivo/DVR/VCR. I think it is the episode featuring the Nissan Sentra and a Bentley. Just a heads-up. |

I have a season pass for MotorWeek, so I will be recording it. I watch them every Sunday morning while the wife and I eat breakfast...but I may have to tune in on time to see this one. |

Yeah, here is a snippet of their last update with link: http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/longterm/jeepcrd05.shtml Date: July 2006 Miles: 18,000 Sales of the Jeep Liberty CRD turbo-diesel have exceeded expectations and that's great news. It's about time Americans got more familiar with the efficient diesel engines that are common in sport-utility vehicles sold in Europe. The bad news is that production for the Jeep Liberty diesel has stopped. The current 2.8-liter doesn't meet new emission rules. So, you either have to settle for one on a dealer's lot, or wait for a diesel Jeep Grand Cherokee due next year. The Liberty was a test of the acceptance of diesel SUVs in America. We certainly accepted our 2005 Liberty which has been fault free a full year and 18,000 miles. Our overall test results of 21.9 miles per gallon may be only 10% better than a V6 gas Liberty, but it exceeded 28 miles per gallon on the highway. So, while the 11,000 Liberty diesels may only be a drop in the bucket now, maybe that trickle will turn into a steady stream, as even more efficient diesel engines prove that you don't have to give up power for economy in an SUV. |
