Re: motor selection
30K+ is crazy pricing. But that would be great to have the economy, range, safety and reliability of a diesel. I'm not surprised that those guys are designing their own lower unit. I imagine that even the super tough 3.0L merc units will have some issues with the torque of the diesel.
If I had unlimited funds . . . I would consider one of those beasts.
Until 5 years ago diesel almost always cost less than Regular Gasoline and off road diesel (- .24 cent tax) would have been far less.
