"Wrangler Unlimited will be available with a new 3.8-liter V-6 engine and a diesel engine will also be available for key diesel markets outside of North America. Built at Chrysler Group's Toledo Assembly Plant in Toledo, Ohio, the 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited will arrive in U.S. Jeep dealerships in the fall of 2006, and will follow to international markets starting in the first half of 2007."

I would like to have something like that, But being a jeep it will get crappy fuel mileage and cost 30,000+

Would be nice to have a jeep big enough for the family to go wheeling. By the time I get my tool box in my jeep there is enough room for 1 passanger.

Diesle would help the mileage, but unfortunately we don't have that option. Heck I could probably buy one cheaper at the Bagdad jeep dealer and have it shipped here cheaper than the MSRP for me to buy it one town over..

One big reason why there are not more diesels in the US is that the cetane here is only around 40. In Europe, the cetane is in the low 50's.

Remember the gas crisis in the 70's and the bad press that diesel engines got, the manufacturers do not want to go through that again. When the refineries make a higher quality fuel, then the auto manufacturers will follow. That legislation is still years away.
