Didn't Penske purchase Detroit Diesel and Allison Transmissions from GM a few years ago?

100 mpg diesel plus indestructable transmission = me likey.

Yes he did, and turned both companies around   :cheersmate:  because GM was just letting them waste away.   :hammer:

Penske should buy GM, move the whole operation to Great Britain, and tell Zero to "go play with himself"....   :bird:

I drive a 2002 Saturn SL sedan.  Basic, reliable, gets 30+ mpg.  I bemoaned the melding of the Saturn lines with those of GM, and said that I wouldn't buy another.  Now that Roger Panske is buying the company . . . I may have to change that feeling. :hyper:

Isn't that the DURAMAX/ALLISON combo?

That combination is the cats meow in powertrains.
