Waiting for different engine choices besides the 6.4L V-8 (for GW).
I'm curious why you do not like the 6.4, I had this engine in a GC SRT and it is phenomenal. Sure a nice diesel would be cool, but I'm not sure the 3 liter eco diesel is up to the task.

Actually agree regarding the ecodiesel being a possible misfit (barring unexpected factory tuning). I've heard there may be a high output inline six that may come in to play.

Direct answer to your question: It's the mpgs. I had an INFINITI QX56 with a direct-injected 5.6L V-8, that was a very powerful engine and it performed wonderfully without fail the entire 10 years of ownership. But one thing about that setup that got old way before 10 years was the horrid mpgs. I've decided that getting a new vehicle that is rated at 15-18 mpg is a non-starter--my way of challenging the auto makers to do better.

I really couldn't care less about 0-60 times. I'm more concerned about 40-60 or 60-80 times, etc. By the way this is not a knock on the 6.4L, just saying it's not the beast I want in my GW.
