The 6.5 is a hunk of ****. The 6.6 Dmax Diesel that is in the H1 Alpha is a great engine. Problem is it is a very heavy, expensive, and large engine.
And im talking about in the new Camaro. The 4.5 and 2.9 are the only two diesel engines that would fit that are also currently in the stable. Teh 4.5 might be too tall though, but its a thought.

personally i say do it, cuz the aftermarket would explode, remember a programmer comes in 5 flavors from 30hp to 150hp and an extra 200-300lb ft. and nothing would be better then a ricer gettin lost in a cloud of soot

H2 does not have a diesel option, only gas. The standard H1 uses the old GM diesel.

It could keep it around as well as be a big seller in Europe and Australia, where they are planning to put the car.
