Probably not. The problem with the engine is it doesn't meet any emissions requirements for the US market. But what's funny is that this is exactly what the market is looking for. How great would a light-duty 30 MPG+ diesel pickup be in this market? Though GM engineers are probably just using it for local transport, it'd be pretty cool for the truck-lovers out there if it were a real live bow-Thai'ed pickup.

Our only response from someone familiar with GM's lineup was a wise-assed "We're actually only looking at V10 engines as the standard" across the light-duty truck lineup, so we expect this to be heading our way any time soon. Or not. Or maybe.

Look, we're as post-modern, self-destructive and borderline nihilistic as the next guy, but there's a couple things we hold sacred. Chief among them are the inherent and timeless sex-appeal of any camino, the eternal glory of the Starion, the holy trinity of Clarkson, May and Hammond and the undeniable, ass-kicking bad-assitude of the Chevy LUV. Lienert, the gauntlet is down; you can make all the big money you want telling the stuffed suits which $100,000+ hair substitute goes best with which mistress on which continent, but you cannot slander, belittle or disparage in any way our all-time favorite mini-truck. Especially in dreamy canary yellow. We're drawing a line in the sand. This will not stand, Dan. This aggression will not stand! Also, dude, "Light Utility Vehicle" is the preferred nomenclature. – Jonny Lieberman
