Another thing I find irritating, is some of the music they use in
commercials. I saw a commercial for either Range Rover or Hummer and
the music was so irritating I turned the TV off. They must be trying to
appeal to someone who younger than I am.

They aren't? What about these comments from the Ford Motor Company
website?

"The new 6.0-liter Power Stroke Diesel V-8 is available on Ford F-250
through Ford F-550 Super Duty pickups and chassis cabs, as well as the
Ford Excursion. Mated with a new optional TorqShiftTM 5-speed automatic
transmission, the new 32-valve diesel engine produces 560 lbs. ft. of
best-in-class torque and 325 best-in-class diesel horsepower."

"Ford Super Duty customers rely on their trucks to get the job done -
whether at work or at play. The 2005 Super Duty delivers - with more
capability, unsurpassed gas and diesel power, more toughness and useful
new features that will make work easier and recreation time more
enjoyable."

and

"Unsurpassed power - including the segment's most powerful gasoline
engine, the 6.8-liter, 3-valve Triton™ V-10 with 355 hp and 455
pound-feet of torque. The best-selling 6.0-liter Power Stroke® diesel
increases to 570 pound-feet of torque."

If a dealer is saying it doesn't come in diesel, he just wants to sell
a gasser from the floor and not special order a diesel.
