Well, it’s about time Jeep made the right move, I think, and brought us North Americans the diesels they offer across the pond.

Latest up on the list of “I wants” is the Jeep Commander 3.0 CRD.

Same engine as seen in the Grand Cherokee 3.0 CRD, just in the upper-end (like the Grand is a stripper) model.

Just think of being able to drive normally and have 30%+ better fuel economy than the Hemi can give. Man, THAT would make a difference.

Come to think of it, if overall SUV and truck sales are down, why aren’t all the automakers even trying to get diesels moving over here - they have them in Europe, and I’m willing to bet if they moved even one model over here, it’d would be a hit with today’s fuel prices.

Come on guys - give me a reason to WANT to buy your products again!

Anyway, read the road test on the Commander 3.0 CRD here.
