Anything going on w/Subie these days? And whatever happened to Subaru getting some hybrid tech. in exchange for battery tech from Fuji?

Replying to: once_for_all (Nov 18, 2008 2:37 pm) Even the best diesels can't compensate for a 50% plus cost disadvantage. This is crazy. Maybe diesel prices will die down once everyone gets all their heating oil.

Replying to: once_for_all (Nov 18, 2008 2:37 pm) 1. Awkwardly short powerband 2. Increased engine noise 3. Clunky noise (have you every compared gas to diesel) 4. Increased and unfamiliar maintenance Yeah makes perfect sense. Just as much as first hybrids did at 5 grand over sticker.

is $2.99, while regular unleaded is now $1.93. That's 50% more for the diesel? No thanks! I can see why Subaru is weighing its options regarding making the diesel boxer 50-state compliant - they could bring it here just in time for gas prices to drop and no-one would buy it! I wish they had gone ahead with the hybrid - they could have shared Toyota's HSD without much cost, presumably, since Toyota is part owner these days. I suppose it would have been difficult to develop that powertrain to include Subaru's boxer 2.0 |
