How many diesel engines does GM make and/or utilize? And, why the hell was one of them not in the last gen Colorado/Canyon instead of that garbage I5 3.7.
A 2.5L diesel would have been perfect to slot between the 2.9 and 5.3
Does this same plant produce the new Cruze Diesel engine?
Why not produce cars here as well.
Where is here?
There.
Seen from here, that is.
Im confused just as others with your reference to “here”.. do you mean there, as in the engine plant? If that’s the case they don’t make cars there because it is a powertrain facility
The new factory
As I’ve said before GM needs to buy back their profitable assets sold during bankruptcy
