In Reply to: Jeep should probably go with a diesel posted by Tim on Monday, October 10, 2005 at 5:33AM :
The Mercedes diesels are too heavy and not CA legal, the diesel that Jeep is using is a 2.8 and 3.0 common rail Detroit Diesel (a division of D/C) made in Italy. There are a few light weight Mercedes prototypes coming down the road in a few years.
FYI, the Mercedes "brand" includes more Chrysler engineered parts than Mercedes wants to admit. They are trying to keep the Chrysler content in Mercedes a secret in Germany, but in the US they brag about the Merdedes content in Chryslers....
