what a strange ad referencing the head of another company.

There was some banter between Elon Musk and Audis engineers about the EV world. It's just to poke fun. They did the same thing with BMW a few years back

Foreword, Frosty, if this goes bad on me, feel free to say I told you so.

That being said, my third turbocharged vehicle.

Dude trust me I'm hoping I don't ever have to say I told you so I don't want to see anybody go through car problems. I was just giving you my opinion based on what I've seen working in the industry. Now does that mean every diesel Cruze is a flaming turd and will give you problems? Absolutely not there are people that have had many many trouble-free miles. I was just throwing in my experience so I wish you the best of luck with it the cruise itself is an awesome car and I hope that you only have to do basic maintenance on it.

It came with two more years of GM power train, which helped sell it to me. After that, I can delete all the emissions stuff which removes most of the reported issues I came across. Sensors, and DEF tank etc

Yesterday when I was filling up I noticed how much diesel fuel has come down in price. Def a win/win for the diesel
Cruzer.
