Yup! Donlen still says January 20th and the press release says January 21st so either one of those days is the start.
Hopefully this little cold snap will not hamper the transportation system and slow things down.

I'd love to test drive one to see how the torque feels compared to the hemi……...

"insider information" posted today elsewhere in Internetland
"EcoDiesel Job 1 hasn't moved yet and still on schedule for little over a week from now. 2015 at this time will be starting up in late August/September."
NYCruiser...I know it's not quite the same, but like others I did go test drive an AWD Cherokee with the EcoDiesel to get a feel for the drivetrain. It is definitely something unique and nothing like I've really felt. I've had Hemi's, V6s, Cummins, etc. and to me it didn't feel like any of them (as it probably shouldn't). It was different, in a good way. You feel the torque and you don't feel the rush a hemi has. It will truely be a milage saver and torque monster, it is most definitely not a Hemi. Just my .02

I have to agree. I also test drove a GC with the diesel and while it was impressive it did not appear to have that throw you in the seat feel like the hemi. The torque felt good but the real question for me will be the mpg.
