I heard about these on the radio, did a search and saw Toshi briefly mentioned something related in his Alternative Transportation thread.
Anyway, I've been bitching for a while that someone needs to offer a midsize diesel pickup in the US, and finally it appears that wish will come true sometime in the next year!
Unfortunately the "Big 3" missed the boat again, and these are built by an indian company. They aren't real pretty, but from all I've read they sound like pretty solid rigs.
They're to get about 33-35 mpg, and cost around $22k with a turbo diesel 4 cyl and 4x4 with a manual transmission. Pretty sweet!
4 door model.
I read the truck is to be called the Mihandra Appalachian , and that they're not going to be real big on bells and whistles, but are supposed to be great workers and last a long time.
