Re: Nissan might bring diesels to the US.

I would love to see a deisel solution that was not so heavy that it would have a negative effect on handling. The fact that oil has more heat energy potential than gasoline makes for a more efficient power plant. If thermal composit materials were used in place of cast iron, and forced induction was employed to full potential a 300 lb deisel engine capable of 750 Hp and 1100 ft/lbs of torque is well within reason. Coupled with a efficient drive train this may well be the future for our Titan's replacment in the next decade.
