Don't take it personally. He thinks he sees troll posts all the time.

Because it's not. Buying the VM engined Liberty might not be a good
choice as an offroad vehicle, but because it uses less fuel it's the
most socially responsible vehicle Jeep makes. If electronic engines
were my forte, I'd have imported one of these from Italy or the UK a
long time ago. Most of VM's engines have a hell for stout reputation
and are sold in many different car brands in Europe.

This is the same technology as the Duramax uses. The Duramax is the
quietest running smoothest and least stinky diesel on the US road so
far...but it's way too big for a Jeep. Half a Duramax, particularly
with an aluminum block to match its heads, would be a really great
engine.

Common rail technology was invented by the Italians and it's become
the dominant thing everywhere. Its only disadvantage is that like all
the gas engines today it's electronic. Box goes, you walk home. The
old diesels were fully mechanical. They would get you back electrics
or no electrics. But their power was nothing like the new engines,
which are beating gasoline for power to weight.

Hi Dave,
With Horsepower comes torque such as this Chevy Rat motor with a
respectable 828 horsepower at 7000 rpm and 692 lb-ft of torque at 5250
rpm: http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/50660/ Where the diesel truck's
engine wieghts twice as much, and only delivers half the horsepower and
torque, but at a lower RPM: http://www.6066gmctrucks.org/Diesel.htm
that's why we need eighteen speeds to go sixty miles and hour:
