#1 of 31 Diesel Enclave by easym1 Oct 23, 2007 (8:30 pm)
Does anyone know if GM is planning to put a diesel engine on their enclave? Replies to this message: kcorey (Nov 06, 2007 3:14 pm) easym1 (Nov 06, 2007 3:47 pm) kcorey (Nov 13, 2007 1:38 pm)

I heard that they were considering a diesel for 2010 or 2111. That is only rumor at this time. I have not heard or seen anything official on this yet. Replies to this message: easym1 (Oct 25, 2007 4:32 pm)

Replying to: bobelew (Oct 24, 2007 6:50 pm) Thank you bobelew, this is very dissapointing, we now have a clean diesel fuel and GM have been selling a lot of diesel cars in Europe...why not North America, don't they see the potential? I bet you that whoever starts offering diesels on their all their cars will capture a large market.

Please change the title from Buick Enclave to Diesel Buick Enclave. I made a mistake. Replies to this message: tidester (Oct 25, 2007 10:30 pm) easym1 (Oct 26, 2007 12:17 pm)

Replying to: easym1 (Oct 25, 2007 4:34 pm) Your original title was "Diesel Enclave." I changed it to Buick Enclave because I noticed we didn't have a general Enclave discussion and thought we could use one! Since your question concerned speculation about future Enclave product lines it fit nicely into the general discussion.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: easym1 (Oct 26, 2007 12:17 pm)

#7 of 31 Diesel by beach15 Oct 27, 2007 (8:35 am)
Really no plans or anything even hinted at for the Lambda.   One diesel coming, and testing right now, is in the new Cadillac CTS, and then maybe at one point a variation in the new Saturn Astra. And they also have a new "light duty" 4.5L diesel slated for 1/2 trucks and SUV's soon.   But nothing in regards to the GM Lambda crossovers. Maybe a Hybrid in time, or a possible V8 intro as was rumored initially, but I wouldn't expect a diesel.

Replying to: easym1 (Oct 23, 2007 8:30 pm) I don't understand why anyone would want a diesel. The fuel is higher (reg.gas is $2.77 vs diesel $3.23...Linden, New Jersey). And try to get a diesel fixed, especially on the road. There's few enough good mechanics to work on gas engines, but diesel...? Oh sure, Mercedes may have "good" mechanics, but who can afford their prices? ($800. for a tune-up...get real!!) Replies to this message: easym1 (Nov 06, 2007 3:47 pm) kcorey (Nov 13, 2007 1:38 pm)

Replying to: kcorey (Nov 06, 2007 3:14 pm) Diesel engine will give you more mileage and that's why Europeans like it. Regarding the fuel price, it's a matter of supply and demand. Diesel engines historically outlast their regular gas engine counterparts. Once all car companies start offering diesel engine on all their cars, it only make sense for them to have trained technicians/mechanics to work on it.

Replying to: easym1 (Nov 06, 2007 3:47 pm) I don't plan I willing my car to lmy grandchildren...4 years is long enough. I'm sure that almost any car (even an import) will last for 4 years. Considering that a diesel would probably cost about $3,000 more (comparing it to what trucks run) it just doesn't make any sense.
