Nice... The perfect TV.
Aerodynamic, low centre of gravity, high end suspension, sticky performance tires and great brakes with short stopping distances. Why degrade the overall performance by putting a nice engine like that in a truck or SUV.

What you are speculating about is already happening with the Sprinter van combos. that engine has less power, but more cylinders, so may have more torque than a 4. I am really hoping for some increased towing capacities with small diesels, so I can keep the roomy trailer I currently have into the future, but be able to tow it and still eat. By the way, diesel fuel has about 20% more BTUs available than gas - hence the increased mileage. Don't expect to ever see diesel cheaper than gas in the future, even though it is easier to refine.
