Source: General Motors Quietly Stops Production of Cruze Diesel in US | TheDetroitBureau.com General Motors has quietly stopped building diesel-powered cars for the U.S. market. Steven Majoros, marketing director for cars and crossovers for General Motors Chevrolet Division, said GM halted production of the diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze at its assembly complex in Lordstown, Ohio, this past October when it switched over the new version of the Cruze. . . . Looks like VW, BMW, and Dodge have the diesel market all to themselves. Bob Wilson
I thought GM had already announced a new 1.6 liter diesel for the 2017 Cruze (GM Eyed U.S. From Inception of ‘Whisper Diesel’ | Technology content from WardsAuto)? Have they changed their minds since "TDI -gate"?
The Cruze is getting a 1.6L or 1.7L diesel for the 2017MY, which is also when the hatchback arrives. The Colorado and GMC twin got a 2.8L this year. edit: I heard about about the Cruze diesel in CleanMPG's article about the hatch. A GM rep comment there was that the diesel was still on.
