Very interesting. I wonder how long before those
engines show up in other vehicles - Like the Dakota.

wonder which engine? Iveco, would be my guess. But there would be an
amusing wossname if they were using the Powerstroke 2.8 which is derived
from the LR TDi...

I think I'll wait for a diesel jeep to roll over and explode in a
fireball on American TV.

The engine is from Detroit Diesel Corporation, VM division and they come
from Italy.
The Grand Cherokee has been available in Europe for some time with a five
cylinder common rail Mercedes unit. It was previously fitted with an
indirect injection VM unit, a five cylinder version of the four fitted to
early diesel Range Rover and Rover 820 cars.

Tsk, you obviously haven't studied your Hollywood rule book.

1. In any car chase, the Ferrari/Jaguar/BMW will always be relentlessy
tracked down and overtaken by one of the following:

A Ford Taurus
A Mack truck
A UPS or Fedex van

2. During a car chase the scene must cut to a shot of the speedometer in
the European car with the need creeping slowly towards the unheard of
speed of 70mph where it will stop, flickering feebly.

3. At the second bend the European car will fly off the road and the
fuel tank will explode in mid air.

4. The American vehicle (see list above) will be able to outbrake or out
corner the European vehicle and will thus be saved from the same fate.

5. Everyone will stand around and look at the burning vehicle, no one
will call 911, no one will try to assist the driver and/or passengers.

6. The most romantic place to be is on a dusty road next to a burnign
car from which the smell of charred flesh is drifting. So the principal
character will embrace and go for a deep-tongue experience.

7. Particularly applies if the characters are male.

Also, cars with manual gearboxes, patricularly of non-American
origin, will only be capable of changing up through the gearbox,
and approximately have 312 gears. See "Bullit" for particularly
impressive demonstration....
