GM's Diesel Future In Their Own Hands

[sk]

Well, it looks like GM will actually own diesel designs once again:

If I read it right it sounds like GM is reducing their stake in Isuzu Motors but increasing their stake in DMAX LTD, as well as completely buying the designs of a few of Isuzu's diesels.

Let's hope that Isuzu finds a way to stay in DMAX, Ltd. I personally don't want GM to own the entire operation. GM has a very bad track record for diesel engines, and engines in general recently (all the knocking V-8's).

GM has a history of trying to cut corners to make more money. The Duramax is strong, but even minor alloy changes could turn it into a dog real quick.

Let's hope that Isuzu stays in DMAX! We need their expert diesel knowledge that GM doesn't have.

Moderators: This thread needs to be in the Duramax section. It's a major issue that directly pertains to the future of the Duramax.
