the 617

would be very heavy for a dune buggy, and why bother? light weight there is important and who cares if it uses alittle less fuel. you arent going to be driving it that much anyway.

the dakota would be a good match. not too heavy but heavy enough to take the weight.

and i read recently that the new jag will be offered with diesel power, cant remember if euro only or us too.
