Chevy Confirms Diesel Cruze for 2013

Where is GM getting this false information from - "Big demand for diesel in America."? Are they making it up as they go along? There are about the same count of diesel fueling stations in America as there are super charge stations for electric cars. Since diesel is even more expensive than gasoline in America, about .30 cents more, who in their right mind would want a diesel powered vehicle, especially from GM where the price is as over inflated as the diesel that GM wants to force down your throats?

Where is GM's electric car for America? And don't tell me that "tinker toy" called the Volt is there electric car, because the Volt is not an electric car.

And I will stick with Toyota ( Prius )

Criticism is cheap and easy. Reading and opening your brain takes more effort.

I read this site too, and it has LONG been about all auto hi-tech.

Hint: see "Auto alternatives for the 21st century" up top.

I'm well aware that the site has long been about "Auto alternatives for the 21st century" as I've been reading this site for a very long time and I've been bothered every time I see a post about the Chevy Cruze or Jetta TDI or any other non-hybrid vehicle. I was simply pointing out that a site called hybridcars.com shouldn't be about other forms of vehicles...just seems like it's false advertisement.

Oh lordy! I went over to plugincars.com and there's an article about a non-plugin Volvo hybrid on the front page! What is this world coming to?! What's next, an article about a fuel cell vehicle? Keep it on fuelcellcars.com. Oh, the humanity!!

See how silly that sounds? Do you go to ABCNews.com and expect news about the first three letters of the alphabet? Loosen up people.

I think diesels are a great alternative to hybrid vehicles. The electric drive trains don't last forever and the battery certainly will not. Diesel engines have several good things going for them:

1) Higher fuel economy makes up for the higher price of diesel.
2) Higher residual value when compared to a gas counterpart.
3) Longer lasting and durable engines.

Look at the Jaguari XF 2.2 diesel which averages 47.5 MPG. I think that is pretty damn good.

That's a bit dramatic, don't you think? ABCNews having only news about ABC? C'mon, that's completely different. We're talking about a blog with a specific topic and there's tons of articles posted that are irrelevant to the topic. Half of the articles aren't even related to a hybrid car anymore. I typically load the page once a week and usually scroll through to skip half the articles because they are about something completely different.

You don't have to agree with me. I'm just trying to make the point that the site has lost its direction a bit.

Are you blind? Nearly every gas station around here offers diesel! Along with all the truck stops. And I've yet to see a "super charge station for electric cars". You may be a fan of electrics, but you've got to stop sniffing glue or whatever it is!

For those of you who haven't yet seen these movies about how the oil companies are holding us back from cars that get over 100+mpg, check out "Gashole" & "Fuel?", both available via Netflix.

Biodiesel and diesel vehicles are a great alternative to hybrid cars. The question to ask about the hybrids, is what do we do with all the toxic batteries at the end of the life of the hybrid cars?

Wow, about freak'n time a domestic automaker finally gets the hint to bring out convenient diesels,

next will be diesel hybrids (Europe has done)

then making it a drive-by-wire hybrid
-(having the vehicles power coming from the battery only, the engine only recharges the battery from minimum of 10% to 90% charge for greatest efficiency,

amalgamating the diesel hybrid with a CVT
-(since most electric motors have a low torque output, it be more reliable for the CVT.),

then anywhere during, they could convert the diesel to run on either b100, veggie oil, recycled cooking oils, etc.
-(thenceforward no longer will we depend on foreign oil, or any fossil fuels and consume a renewable resource right from our american fields, paying farmers, creating promising jobs [unlike the ethanol plants], and stimulating an economic growth[win freak'n win baby])

But most of this has already been put together into a car designed by Robert Q. Riley
- http://www.rqriley.com/xr3.htm

And anyone who figures out that they can save money by buying gas over diesel is just an idiot, ya our conventional diesel does cost more than gas, but not only is diesel giving you more bang-for-your-buck but there's b100 that I've seen less than that of regular gas, and veggie or cooking oil can be bought at $0.50/gal, and if you recycle restaurant oil for less than that even.

Independence from foreign oils has always been around since 1900's where one of the first diesel engines ran solely off of pea-nut oil (^ The Biodiesel Handbook, Chaper 2 - The History of Vegetable Oil Based Diesel Fuels, by Gerhard Knothe, ISBN 978-1-893997-79-0), less than a decade after the first gas engine was invented)

So Hint-Hint GM, Ford, & Chrysler

As for James Davis, he'll be the idiot at a gas station asking why the nozzle doesn't fit.

gm is going to produce an electric only vehicle soon it is called the chevrolet spark
If gm uses a diesel engine that gets 50 mpg verses 38 mpg do the math 30cents per gallon more but 12mpg better the diesel is more cost effective The problem is as with an hybrid the excessive upfront cost is difficult to over come

This was really so very cool and fun to read. I work for a pharmaceutical erp software company and I really have enjoyed this information. This seems like a very cool car.

No diesel stations? When is the last time you saw a heavy duty truck that was not a diesel? where do you think they fill up? There are far more diesel stations than electric charge stations. A diesel car can get better mileage than a hybrid and make twice as much torque. Oh yeah and last probably twice as long. Seems like a pretty good option to me.

This was really so very interesting and fun for me to read. I have enjoyed reading all of this great and fun information so much. This was really very cool to me. Thanks - Loft conversions surbiton

This was really a very awesome and fun article to read. I really have enjoyed this information so much. I cant wait to read more. Thanks - Canvas Printing

Really great and helpful article. I think this is really going to be a great deal to say the least. I cant wait to read more from this great website. This was very awesome. Thanks - London city office space

I really do think that this was really so very interesting and helpful for me to read. I cant wait to read more from this greaat and fun website. Overseas Property<

No new models come out in 2012? watersport

my son, wife and i all drive diesel cars. two vw tdi's and a bmw 335d. i cannot ever recall a time when any of us has ever stressed about finding fuel for our cars. its simply never happened. with 500 and 700 mile ranges, there is plenty of time to find fuel in an unfamiliar area. diesel is quite prevalent, next time you fill up with gas, look for the green hose and handle. its there. you have simply never noticed it before.
to me the joy of diesel driving is the low maintenance, incredible torque and power, and the delight of standing out as one who drives something which looks similar, but is distinctly different. its very true, unfamiliarity is what fosters an ignorance about diesel cars. find time to ride in one. or better, drive one. they dont smoke, they dont rattle, and they are nearly as quiet outside as a gas car. certainly i adore the slight mechanical noise they make, its what sets me and my car apart. any diesel hybrid coming down the pipe will surely grab my attention and undoubtedly be the next car of choice for me.

Stretching exercises I'm glad to see diesel versions coming back, they're great cars and very versatile. Good work Chevy, thanks for the update!

Yeah! Finally a diesel hybrid. Stretching exercises your driving should reflect better gas habits. my 2 and a half cents.

the pumps with diesel here in Connecticut are yellow just look for the lable on the pump or ask the attendant to be sure hope this helps also look for a gas station with alot of truck traffic to get fresh fuel this is very helpfull when the seasons change due to differant additives that improve winter performance

You pay 30 cents more for diesel because diesel vehicles get 40% better fuel economy and last twice as long. 30 cents is only a ~ 9% increase in cost, but since it burns 40% less fuel, you still save 31%. It's simple math. That "tinker toy" is a plugin hybrid. It operates solely on electric power within a certain range. This is just like a fully electric car. The difference is, if you want to take your electric car on a road trip, you would have to stop for 5-6 hours every few hundred miles to recharge, and that's if you can find a fast charger. With the volt, when you exceed the range capability of the batteries, the engine kicks in and it runs as a typical hybrid. Ergo your range is not limited, you can go as far as you want and only stop for a few minutes to fill up.

That is Great News! Chevrolet is on the right track. Diesel is the way to go if the price of a diesel car is close, not expensive, to buy compared to gas cars.
Keep up the good work...Chevrolet.

I have owned many different brands of cars...imported and domestic...Chevs, Chryslers, Fords, Hyundais and the most liked are in that order. Hyundais are cheap and not oweing up to their products. Warranties are just there but not good...they wait for the end of the warranty to tell owners what problems are evident. They also do not have any diesel vehicles. I will be buying Chevrolets again.

The new diesel version also cruze the market in my opinion.... cell phone spyware
