Chevrolet to sell Cruze in a Diesel Verison

The Chevrolet Cruze, the most popular car in the U.S. last month, will come in a diesel version that could boost gas mileage to around 50 mpg, two people briefed on General Motors Co. product plans said Monday.
A diesel Cruze would help GM meet more stringent government gas mileage requirements.
An unidentified source said, the diesel Cruze won't hit showrooms until at least 2013.
GM has several diesel-powered cars in other parts of the world, including a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged diesel Cruze that's selling well in Australia.
GM will have to use diesel and other technology to meet stricter U.S. fuel economy standards in the coming years.
The diesel Cruze would be built at GM's factory in Lordstown, Ohio, southeast of Cleveland.
