GM is going to offer a small truck diesel!

Gm announced it will offer a diesel option in its small trucks-

Not designed as a big tow vehicle by any means but maybe it is a step towards a 1/2 ton diesel option.

Actually-
GM's diesel is in the small Canyon line of trucks- 2.5 or 2.8 liter.
Will be interesting to hear what the numbers are for MPG, HP, Torque...
