Chevy’s Diesel Car New For 2013

According to General Motors,  it will release a diesel version of the Chevrolet Cruze compact car in the U.S., according to GM CEO Dan Akerson.

It would be the first Detroit passenger-vehicle diesel since the 2006 Jeep Liberty CRD sport-utility, and the first diesel car from Detroit since the 1980s. It's planned for introduction in 2013.

People who have driven the new diesels say they are quiet.  The likely fuel economy rating with an automatic transmission is reported to be in the low-to-mid-40s.
