The big news will be a new turbodiesel from Cummins, showing up in 2010; it will greatly increase low-end torque while slashing gas usage by nearly a third and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 20%, compared to a similar gas engine. The Cummins diesel will meet 50-state emissions standards for 2010.

Gas usage slashed by 1/3 compared to a similar gas engine? What the hell does that mean?

Some of these images look like very poor Photoshop jobs.

I really like the looks of that stitched dash. Whether it's real or not.

Looks like Mega-Cab 1500s will now be real 1500s? (Image 18 in Autoblog).

Tach has no redline?

Some of these are retouched. Look at 75 and 76. In 76, they erased the rear control arm.
Wait a minute... are they offering 2 different rear suspensions?

it means that the MPG of the Diesel would be up to 50% better than the Hemi... how to calculate... if you drive 500 miles and the new Hemi gets 20mpg-laf), you will use 25 gallons of gasoline. If the diesel uses 2/3 of that amount it will use 16. 67 gallons of diesel to go the same 500 miles. That works out to 30 mpg. That is a 50% increase in economy...

I will say that what I think they really meant to say was that the MPG will be 33% better. That's what I've seen posted in other places. No where have I seen the V8 Cummins economy in the 30 range... more like 25-26 highway MPG's. Of course, I don't know a whole lot of Hemi's getting more than 17 highway MPG's.
