Default Diesel Wrangler One Step Closer to Reality

The new " EcoDiesel " 3.0 Turbo , introduced to the US market in the Grand Cherokee , has been chosen as one of
" 2014 Wards 10 Best Engines " after extensive review. Great news for JK owners and fans who have been asking for a factory diesel option for years in the US market . Now one step closer to reality , allowing the Wrangler to keep its suspension , iconic looks ( read " weight " ) intact . The 3.0 gives torque , fuel economy , meeting tougher CAFE standards , just what we have begged for .
Perhaps starting a Poll to give Corporate an idea of demand would get their attention .
Grand Cherokee owners didn't ask , but they received . Our turn. !

Was this quoted from somewhere or just the start of a " we want a diesel wrangler thread" ?

The diesel 3.0 turbo , offered in the Grand Cherokee , is a fact ,, as well as the award for 10 Best Engines by Wards'.
Perhaps actually reading the post would help you .
