    Source: General Motors Quietly Stops Production of Cruze Diesel in US | TheDetroitBureau.com

    General Motors has quietly stopped building diesel-powered cars for the U.S. market.


    Steven Majoros, marketing director for cars and crossovers for General Motors Chevrolet Division, said GM halted production of the diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze at its assembly complex in Lordstown, Ohio, this past October when it switched over the new version of the Cruze.

    Looks like VW, BMW, and Dodge have the diesel market all to themselves.

    The Cruze is getting a 1.6L or 1.7L diesel for the 2017MY, which is also when the hatchback arrives.
    The Colorado and GMC twin got a 2.8L this year.

    edit: I heard about about the Cruze diesel in CleanMPG's article about the hatch. A GM rep comment there was that the diesel was still on.
