LoL, I'm a huge fan of Inline 6's. My wife's next vehicle is going to be an Envoy. I'm not sure why it's got a 350 in it, it won't do anything close to 100, barely gets up to 65, has decent low end torque, but it needs another gear. GM will always get my nod for drivetrains. I like my Diesel for the gobs of grunt it has low on the tach, continuing pretty far into it. Beats everything except the 8.1L big block off the line, and my buddy's high performance Ford 460 in his 78 mud truck. Comparing a diesel to the inline six isn't quite fair, but comparing it to a V-8, the diesel is worth the extra bucks up front, it pays off with the fuel efficiency, and reliability. And Cali doesn't give diesels hell in the winter.
