A CVT won't be in the H6, at least not yet.

But the CVT done right should get definite FE benefit, especially in city driving.

Agreed, but if the CVT is the old Subaru unit designed for a very small engine and vehicle it probably can't be used with the 3.6l. If the power of the 3.6 has been increased with direct injection to 280-300 HP, the limits of the Murano's trans may even be exceeded.

Diesel/Hybrid? by hondaru

With the cozy relationship with Nissan/Toyota, have any of you heard about a hybrid or diesel for these models? I think they would do very well in the US.

Diesel Forester exists in Europe (?maybe Aus) but it is not a clean diesel so it doesn't meet 50 state emissions and cannot be imported.

Murano is heavier, though. It may be able to handle more power in a lighter vehicle.
 
Where did I see 30mpg? That's amazing numbers with the revised EPA rules. 2.5i of course.

Canadian Imprezas already get 32.5mpg highway based on EPA numbers. But so do UK, Aus, NZ, .......

My friend who has an '08 Impreza 2.5i has averaged 29.1 mpg since September, which means most miles accumulated have been in sub-freezing temperatures, with some of those being VERY (-50F) sub-freezing!
 
I think that is great. I averaged 20.3 in my '08 Outback over a winter (October to February). Other than weight, the only real difference was mine as auto versus his as manual.

Is that using the on-board mpg computer? My '09 WRX has been averaging a bit under 23 mpg using the on-board computer; and about 1 mpg less using my watch calculator.
