GM - Manual Transmission Cruize Diesel

[tassolake]

It looks like GM has finally decided to win over the TDI crowd. They are now considering making a manual available in the diesel (except the top of the line version).

This may be the newest addition to the household.

Hatchback, Diesel, Manual....Hmmm now if only they could build a car with soul.

First time I saw the pictures the back looked very similar to an Opel astra... But +1 for the soul part

I just want someone to start Fn' selling cheap diesel cars in the $12K range. They do it everywhere else in the World.

Both Opel Astra and Chevy Cruze are Delta II cars built using the same platform.

They originate from an earlier Daiwoo design.

I need to test drive a Chevy SS manual. Now if they'd add a Duramax...

I didn't know but I do know that Opel is owned by gm so this isn't surprising news to me

I went into the gm.ca configurator and found the hatchback but could not find any diesel engines in the 2017 sedan or hatch. Also, their website was slow. I would never buy a GM vehicle so I don't know why I bothered.

The article did state that it was a rumour!
