Speculation, but Chrysler has a BUNCH of awesome test diesels running around the US and Europe, that ALL meet the new 2007 diesel emission standards. My guess is that we'll see a lot of them as soon as the low sulfur fuel (Oct. 2006) hits the market.
How's this for potent...
"4.0 : 314 horsepower at a relaxed 3,600 rpm and a truly truck-like 538 lb./ft. of torque at 2,200 rpm. All this in a mid-sized sedan with combined fuel economy of 25 miles per gallon
The copious torque output allows this version of the E-class to blast from 0-62 miles per hour (the conversion of the European 0-90 km/h measurement) in 6.1 seconds. Essentially, a sub-6-second 0-60 time. You'd think with this level of power and performance, the engine would be a heavy, large-displacement lump. But this staggering output from just 3,996 cubic centimeters. That's right, only 4.0 liters. Total weight of the twin-turbocharged and liquid-intercooled V-8 engine is 570 lbs., or a little more than half the weight of a Cummins ISB or Power Stroke."

They also have the 2.8, 3.0 and Cummins is also working on this with a wicked 4.6 V8.
