I have two Mosin-Nagant 91/30s myself, one of which has a PU sniper scope.

I also have two SKSs.

Believe it or not, it was my wife that got me into commie guns and going plinking at the range.

I've been following this story simply because I want a small truck with a 4cyl turbodiesel engine like you can get everywhere else in the world EXCEPT here.

Supposedly they plan on having a manual transmission available later on, but probably not at product launch, so I'll check them out when they become available but hold out for that. It will undoubtedly prove prudent to sit out the first model year anyways, not unlike any other new model car or truck.

Interesting. Sounds too expensive to succeed here especially for an unknown brand in the US.

The new Acura TSX (2009) will have a 2.2 turbo diesel option. 50 state legal without any urea injection.

32 mpg city, 52 mpg highway, I read.

Catchy name.
