Dont forget Isuzu Troopers in the early
80's. Their diesel lasted about 60K before they blew the
heads. Max

It IS amazing. And
not just that. There used to be Ford Escorts with Mazda
diesel engines, Lincolns with BMW made diesels, Chrysler
K-cars with Mitsubishi-built diesels... anyone know that the
Jeep XJ/MJs (Cherokee, Wagoneer and Comanche) could be
optioned with a Renault-built 2.2 turbo diesel from '84
to '87? At the altitudes around here, it was the most
powerful option as the Chevy-suppled 2.8 V6 gasser, already
a piece of crap, was completely emasculated in the thin
air. That Chevy engine was the worst engine ever put into
a Jeep....
America had quite
a love affair with diesels in the late 70s/early 80s, before
the 5.7 litre GM diesel showed how wrong it can go when a
company tries to make a diesel out of a gasser. Even
vaunted Mercedes-Benz, considered the leader in
diesel-engined passenger cars, managed to create a lemon in
the 350SDL, notoriously dubbed "the rod
bender".... OUCH!
My father bought a first-year
Chevette in 1976. My high school buddies got real excited
when I told them we had a new 'Vette. They were mighty
disappointed when they first saw what we actually got. It
became the "Shove-it" shortly
after....

That's amazing ;
I wonder how solid the car is , that's a
lot of miles for such a cheaply built car .
I like Chevettes , we called
them " 1/4Vette " when
we had them in our Municipal Fleet , gasoline models only ,
tiny , under powered City only cars by design but they
thrashed along just fine and as usual , GM's AC was the
bees knees .
