2.8L "Mini-duramax" Diesel (2016 Canyon, Colorado, ATS...?)

http://gmauthority.com/blog/2012/05/...-cadillac-ats/

Was poking around the interwebs looking at efficient diesels. I knew the 2016 Canyon and Colorado are getting the 2.8L option...

But is it coming to the ATS?

340-350 lb-ft diesel caddy that could clear at least 35 MPG highway would be awesome to say the least.

That would be a nice combo, at least on paper

Seeing as that article is now more than 3 years old and there hasn't been the slightest hint from Cadillac about it thus far, I'm gunna go out on a limb and say its not happening -at least in North America. It could already be on sale in Europe for all I know
