Thanks Brian for your Question to Carl about Diesels in Hummers.
Hopefully Carl’s term “small” is in US of A terms. I think a modern technology Gutsy Diesel as an option in a H3 or H3T (Alpha as well) would be a step in the right direction. Comfort and performance with fuel economy (a Barrel of crude oil reaching a record high today) plus big towing capacity (A 4wd Nissan Diesel 4 door pickup in Australia has a 6600lb tow rating) . Why should the Leader of the pack only be A V8 Gasoline powered unit. The F250 is an example for that in Australia at least. Give the Europeans a four cylinder option where its warranted. Dont get me wrong im loving what ive seen so far of the H3 and H3T but im diesel thru and thru, a low horsepower diesel unit will kill it stone dead for me and many others i believe. No news on transmission detail yet im guessing? cheers murray

Cool, I had other things going on. Glad I made it for the HX chat though.
