"It finally becomes reality Summer 2013. That’s when the Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel hits the road running as the first clean diesel car ever produced by a U.S. automaker and will offer an EPA-estimated 46 MPG highway. It will have a starting MSRP of $24,885*.Clean diesels generate at least 90% less Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and particulate emissions when compared to previous-generation diesels.
It all starts with a 2.0L turbocharged clean diesel engine designed in Italy, built in Germany and installed in the Cruze at our factory in Lordstown, Ohio. The 2014 Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel comes equipped with the very latest clean diesel technology which helps reduce emissions while also boasting 148 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of “low-end” torque* (http://www.chevrolet.com/cruze-diesel-reveal.html#content_chevrolet_northamerica_usa_nsc website_en_index_tools_cruze-diesel_jcr-content_cnt_legalpage_c1_disclaimers_disclaimer_c1 _0) that you’ll have to experience to believe."

Fun to read about, but not really impressed with the EPA estimated MPG. Will be interesting to see what the hyper-milers can do with it, I'd guess 60+mpg.
