Among those that intended to build diesel pickups was Toyota http://greenfuelsforecast.com/ArticleDetails.php?articleID=425
Now in the wake of Chrysler launching a diesel Ram and Nissan announcing a Cummins diesel for its next-gen Titan, Toyota is back on the compression ignition bandwagon. So far, GM's ready for production 4.5-liter Duramax V8 remains on the shelf http://green.autoblog.com/2010/06/11/general-motors-4-5l-light-duty-diesel-v8-was-on-track-for-25-mpg/ but it could be revived. GM has already indicated that it will offer a smaller diesel in upcoming US versions of the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon mid-size trucks.
That leaves just Ford which has given no indication that it will offer a light duty pickup diesel. Ford will offer a 3.2-liter five cylinder diesel in the upcoming Transit full-size van and the 4.4-liter V8 it had planned to install in the F150 a few years ago did end up finding in a home in European market Range Rovers. For now, Ford remains committed to gas-fueled EcoBoost technology for the pickups. ?

On a couple of occasions I've considered buying one of those single serving coffee makers, but when I've used them in hotel rooms I've been unimpressed with the quality of the coffee. Worse all of the materials for every cup go straight into a landfill.
Instead, at home we have a Melita mill and brew that includes a built-in grinder. We buy high-quality and locally roasted whole beans and get great coffee every time for a fraction of what those single use cups cost. We also don't have to use any filters, the grounds go straight into the compost and the filter basket gets rinsed out for the next pot.
More cost effective and less wasteful.?
Waste: The Dark Side of the New Coffee Craze | Feature | Oakland, Berkeley & Bay Area News & Arts Coverage
In June, Peet’s Coffee & Tea dispatched a truck emblazoned with the motto, “Proof in Every Single Cup,” to drive across the country. Every few days the mobile cafe pulls up to the sidewalk of a different city, and the baristas on board hawk free cups of the company’s new single-serve coffees.
But I'd love to see them run a longer version of this a short before the main feature?
