AAH #197 - Chevrolet Cruze Diesel: 50 MPG at 50 MPH?

Why take the risk? What makes you think it would work this time?
We're asking, of course, about GM's relationship with the
long-embattled diesel engine. Decades after the General killed
diesels in passenger cars, Chevrolet is counting on a reversal in
fortunes as it offers the Cruze with a modern diesel powerplant.
This week as Mike Siegrist, Assistant Chief Engineer of the Chevy
Cruze Diesel, joins us in studio with an engine in tow, we'll ask
him why the company is putting its faith in diesel once again. As
usual, we'll get into the latest news including Viper returning to
Le Mans and Renault entering Formula E. Joining John McElroy in
studio is co-host Peter De Lorenzo, the Autoextremist, and Gary
Vasilash from Automotive Design and Production.
