Is the world’s
biggest automaker finally bowing to high-torque fans by bringing more diesel powerplants to the U.S.?

During a talk with the trade publication Automobilwoche, an unidentified GM manager was quoted as saying:
“We are developing right now two highly modern diesel motors that won’t just fulfill the Euro-5 emission
standards, but (also) the more stringent Bin-5 regulations in the USA.”

The engines include a 2.9
liter V6 and a 4.5 liter V8. If the report is true, they would likely be rolled out in various GM vehicles starting in
2008.
