From Auto Blog ( Didn't know this- cheating?)
The 1.6-liter diesel engine is already used in the Opel Astra, a mechanical twin to the new Cruze, where it makes up to 158 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Transferring the same engine, or a version of it, to the Cruze should only require some modifications to meet regulations. While GM preps a new Cruze Diesel for the US, it's also worth mentioning it's facing a class-action suit that accuses GM of installing cheat devices on first-gen Cruze Diesels and is demanding the company pay $2,000 to owners. GM said it will "vigorously defend itself" against the "baseless" allegations.
