My question who would buy such an expensive Gas Engine???

With today's prices, I am not surprised anymore on what people will pay for stuff. Many will lay down $11k to go from a base trim package to a premium without batting an eye.

Although I don't think this would be nearly as expensive as the Cummins diesel. You would not need a lot of the emissions equipment which would reduce a lot of cost and weight. You would also not need iron heads, a VG turbo, as large of an EGR and fuels system. So there could be a lot of cost and weight savings in a gas version.

It sounds like there's a lot of common parts on these engine configurations so there was engineering cost savings, tooling savings, and I suspect all these engine configurations will be produced on the same assembly line as the diesel engine so that should equate to more savings.

So overall less investment and operations costs to bring these engine configurations to the market should mean a less expensive engine.
