Compare that to a Ram Eco Diesel?

I was not surprised at all at the sticker price. We had spec'ed out a gas Colorado using the options made mandatory by ordering a diesel.When we were done with that exercise, I was over $39,000 when adding in the $3700.00 that the diesel option adds to the price.
I was not going to mention the "I think I'll wait until someone else consumer tests this product" scenario. I realize I am not buying another Ford POS that they will not stand behind but the foul taste of being screwed over by Ford while essentially testing their 6.7 diesel makes me a bit leery about testing anyone's new product.This "consumer testing" for the Colorado diesel was on my mind but the first reports from Deb's son at GM were encouraging. He has since changed his opinion a bit. As the miles pile up on their early production test mules, there are some minor issues to work through. He told his mom that we likely made a good decision to buy the Subaru at this time...I was not told what the small issues are but I will be home over Labor Day and will try to find out what are the issues.
I am not out of the market for a diesel Colorado or Canyon...just in a holding pattern for now...
