I think a 3.0L V6 TDI with 220HP and 400lb-ft could go into a variety of applications and do well. Right now it sounds like Holden will be getting a Zeta diesel, so I wonder if the US will too.

Maybe it will be used so Zetas can be competitive in Europe?

wow, that would be cool to have here!

That would be awesome, especially for those that are baby boomers looking for a "luxury" who are still hippie at heart.

Diesel Camaro!

Why not? Give me a 6-speed manual and I'd seriously consider one.

Or maybe the return of the Omega?

It sounds like there's a business case for the Insignia concept.

put the darn thing in the H3

The H3 gets a different 3.0 L diesel designed for truck applications.

Is the 3.0 truck diesel the Izusu one they use overseas in the DMax now?

Similar, the final specs have yet to be seen.

It would be more useful in the CTS, SRX and STS.

That would be great because of the gas mileage, plus maybe it will attract a certain crowd because if my knowledge serves me right there are no other companies producing diesel cars in the US. As for diesel in Camaro, no friggin way, it won't reach high enough RPMs for any performance enthusiast.

The US needs the diesels. If GM doesn't offer more diesels I will have to jump brands...

For once I agree with you.

A diesel option is definitely needed here in the US, across a lot of model lines. GM has had ample time to live down the 70's.
