nice, check out some of the specs for that caddy application:

The V-6 engine management system enables optimal fuel economy as well as
reduced emissions and noise by using GM’s recently developed combustion
control technology. High-speed, piezo-resistive cylinder pressure sensors are
integrated within the engine glow plugs. These specialized sensors acquire real-
time data from the combustion process, enabling instantaneous fine-tuning of the
fuel injection process.
The 2.9L is also equipped with an exhaust gas circulation system with an electric
valve, by-pass valve and a small, but highly efficient, heat exchanging radiator.
The 2.9 liter V-6 diesel will generate 250 horsepower (184 kW) and torque of 550
Nm @ 2,000 rpm.


Also interesting is the Euro5 emissions compliance, the fact that it has a compacted-graphite-iron (I thought that was called steel...) block, aluminum head and valves and yes, plastic manifold and cover assemblies. I just like the idea of having a heat exhanger on the EGR... duh! :roll:

Compacted-graphite-iron is the diesel block of the future. Less weight and stronger than traditional iron blocks. The glow plugs are cool too! Not cheap I'd imagine.
