DCX, what happened to the diesel Caliber or PTC for North American rather than another inefficient SUV?

This 3-liter diesel is already available in Europe and as far as I know it's one of the best diesel engines I've seen on any SUV. 160KW/218hp does the Jeep a lot of good. You sure have something to wait for if you want decent performance and a lowish fuel consumption.

Yes, DCX - How about a diesel minivan? I've got three kids in booster seats - an SUV isn't particularly helpful. But I also tow a popup camper - a diesel minivan would be awesome.

In Europe they have a 2.8L TD Caravan with a 5 speed stick and a Grand Caravan with the same V6 TD that they're putting into the Jeep so it seems that with enough demand it would be possible.

They need to bring over the diesel Wrangler before anything else.

Great to see a diesel! Way to go Jeep! Better economy with good power. Win Win. Good for towing, and off road too. Lets also get the PT Cruiser CRD diesel (in Europe), and the Jeep Wrangler with a diesel in Canada/North America as well. Let the people have a choice for diesel power. An option that makes more and more sense.
