#27 of 85 Diesel for Export Only... WTF? by wolfpak May 15, 2006 (6:11 pm)
Okay... how do we get a petition started?   Here is the pdf release I found listing the CRD as export only.   http://www.jeep.com/07wrangler/features/full-specifications.pdf   Again I ask.. WHY EXPORT ONLY?

Replying to: wolfpak (May 14, 2006 4:58 am) Be verrrry carrrrreful when it comes to importing light diesel vehicles into the states. The requirements to import a light diesel less than 25 years old are practically impossible to meet. You'll end up with a very expensive yard ornament that you can't even title. Do a google for importing diesel vehicles or check some of the folks ebaying canadian toyota diesels and etc to get some insight into this. The EPA and DOT have raised some pretty high hurdles against us owning any diesel not specifically manufactured for the US market.

Replying to: dkoop (May 19, 2006 3:44 am) Great so again we get screwed.   I'm guessing this doesn't include aftermarket conversions though? Replies to this message: dkoop (May 23, 2006 6:56 am)
#30 of 85 Wondering... by kreuzer May 21, 2006 (9:54 am)
if anyone has heard any news regarding the Jeep Scout? I know this is a Wrangler site, but didn't know where to slot this question in! I seen the Scout topic in the future cars for 2007 in Motor Trend's website. Anyone know if there is any truth to this? Thanks.

Replying to: wolfpak (May 19, 2006 4:36 am) Yup! I'm not one to believe in conspiracy theories, but...... It certainly appears that the Feds, automakers, and oil companies don't want a large number of diesel passenger vehicles in the US. There is just too much stacked against us.   I am pretty sure that conversions are not covered although that would depend on any emmissions testing requried by state and local governments. Dropping a liberty crd into a wrangler would be interesting, but I think it would be an expensive proposition.   With all the talk about ethanol as an alternate fuel. I'm not sure we will ever see the commitment to diesels in light vehicles like they enjoy in Europe.
#32 of 85 BlueTec Wrangler Petition by jay50 May 26, 2006 (8:00 am)
Hi Fellow Jeepers, If we form a petition it should be that DCX place the 210 hp 50 State Legal Diesel into the Wrangler I will buy TWO of them. 35 mpg able to Sell in California this is a No Brainer Si..... Replies to this message: closson (Dec 04, 2006 10:08 pm)
#33 of 85 Blue Tec Wrangler by wolfpak May 26, 2006 (8:29 am)
I would think that DCX plans to eventually replace all of their diesels with the Blue Tec since it's 50 state legal.   Of course I would have also thought they would already offer a diesel wrangler in the US and they don't.

Replying to: wolfpak (May 26, 2006 8:29 am) I agree entirely. However, what everyone is missing is that the Jeep Corporation has a real image dilemma on their hands. Jeep tries to market to the outdoor enthusiast who loves the outdoors and the environment in general (camping, fishing, hunting etc). Yet Jeep has some of the worst fuel economies in its class and some of the worst figures for pollution. Clearly the answer for Jeep is to introduce a clean burning efficient diesel as soon as possible. I don't think the DCX and/or Jeep executives have thought about this much at all or else they don't care about their customers wants and needs before they consider a purchase. Let's start that petition!!! Replies to this message: wolfpak (May 30, 2006 6:27 pm)
