This is from Automotive News dated Dec 18 and makes my joke about a small Cummins make more sense considering the Chrysler talks so when Ghosn made the comment about cutting production he in fact was hinting to Chrysler building it on their lines?

DETROIT -- Nissan still wants a diesel engine for its Titan pickup.
"There's still a desire" to offer a diesel in the Titan, said Larry Dominique, Nissan North America Inc. vice president for product planning and strategy.
Late last year and this year, Nissan had been talking to International Truck and Engine Corp. about buying a diesel. But apparently no deals were made. "We are still looking for the right relationship," Dominique said today on the sidelines of a press event here for the Nissan Forum concept vehicle.
Dominique said Nissan is on track to launch a diesel engine in the Maxim sedan in 2010. That could be followed by several other diesels sourced from Nissan's partner, Renault.
Speaking about the need to boost fuel economy to meet increased governmental standards, Dominique said: "We are trying right now to determine what is the best technology: Diesel, gasoline or hybrid electric vehicles. We'll be making those decisions fairly soon."
Dominique said after Renault launches its next-generation diesel technology in 2012 and 2013 to meet upcoming Euro 6 emissions standards, more Nissan diesel passenger cars could end up in North America. Euro 6 and U.S. Federal Tier 2 regulations are close enough so that minor technical changes could make the same basic diesel engine suitable for sale on both sides of the Atlantic.
Nissan's greatest need for a diesel, though, still appears to be in the Titan. General Motors, Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler LLC have all confirmed that diesels will be offered in their light-duty pickups and some SUVs. And Toyota showed a concept diesel pickup at the Specialty Equipment Market Association show in Las Vegas in November.
That leaves Nissan as the only automaker with a full-sized truck without a diesel engine.
