I don't know what to think. The article was written on April 1st, so I am inclined to believe this is an April Fools prank, but time will tell.

Does not surprise me. Look at the Lemans Audi that is diesel powered.
And heck thats a race car.

Yes but he kept refering to it a TDi which is trademaked by VW. Hence why I think it is a April Fools prank.

yeah, it isn't even that well written. APril fools joke.

yea, definitly april fools joke...corvette enthusiast are not going to want a twin turbo diesel in their car, even though they are going to make a supercharged "blue devil" a N?A corvette with high horsepower is still the engine of choice.

well... they did say it was built with izusu... and they build some tough engines... they build engines for diesel generators in motorhomes... and they take a lick and keepin on tickin...

....yyyyyeah, an april fools joke, and I'd put money on it. Its a decent joke, though not well executed.

In terms of realistic possibility, I'd place a diesel Vette about on par with a 4-door sedan and 5-door family wagon versions.

LOL diesel... GM is so conservative that they are still coming up with excuses for not converting to OHC motors line wide.

Isuzu is good, CAT is better. Go US made.

I'd drive one. That thing would be a monster. [burnout]

Ya I think it is some bullcrap. If anything they would be pushing for some E85 garbage fuel.

damn, a turbo diesel would be sick in a vette
