… As do I. I thought that was a nice nonflaming reply. :)

What kills me is that there is obviously something available. They were able to “beef up“ the eight speed automatic to accommodate the diesel. They have a six speed manual that FCA uses with the Cummins which is far much more torquey than the VM Motori. I wish they would just make it happen.
