#1 of 738 Honda Accord Diesel???? by gagrice May 10, 2004 (6:30 pm)
Here is the link on the Honda Accord Diesel tests. I see it broke many records for speed and economy. I'm holding off on the VW Passat TDI for now. see link: http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=234399 Replies to this message: telemarker (May 31, 2004 5:49 am)
#2 of 738 Yep! by robertsmx May 10, 2004 (6:45 pm)
But I doubt this engine will make it here in the USA/Canada anytime soon. It is supposed to be offered in European CRV soon, but IMO, it would make sense here in the USA as well (in CRV and Element).
#3 of 738 Is this for by moparbad May 11, 2004 (6:38 am)
The cars we don't have in North America section? Toyota Corolla Diesel Toyota Tacoma Diesel Mini Diesel Ranger Diesel Honda Civic Diesel Jaguar Diesel Isuzu Diesels and etc., etc...   Just add the Honda Accord to the list.

will be in the US in about a year.   After that, many manufacturers should start offering diesels. Trucks, mini-vans, and SUVs will probably go almost all diesel in short order.   Isuzu Diesel is now GM-Isuzu. GM took full control over Isuzu's small diesel works last year.
#6 of 738 diesel fuel in california by avenger1 May 12, 2004 (3:36 pm)
Not until 2006 for cars, 2007 for heavy vehicles/boats/etc.   Expect to see the oil industry to rib Bush/Cheney for an "extension" (wink wink). That will work well with the tax writeoff for gas guzzling SUV purchases.   I'd love to drive any of the new diesel offerings comming out around the world (heck, there's even a diesel passat in some states!), but I have a feeling I'll end up going with a hybrid accord.   GregC

I think in a few years (once the rules and fuel are straightened out), deisels will make a big inroad in the US, especially if gas prices stay high. If anything, it will help the US manufacturers, since they can keep selling high profit SUVs and trucks.   Some of the new wave of Euro deisels sound real neat. Good performance (and power where it is usable), with excellent economy. What's not to love?
#8 of 738 Diesel in the US by ratbert1 May 19, 2004 (5:35 am)
The problem with diesel in the US is that it has to overcome a bad image. People generally see diesels as clanky sounding with smelly, black exhaust that have fuel gelling problems as soon as there's snow on the ground. I'm sure most of here us know that's not true anymore, but ask Joe Sixpack and Eddie Punchclock and that's the impression from the masses.   Right now I have a subaru, but my next car will be diesel (as long as enviro-NYS allows them to be sold).

Replying to: gagrice (May 10, 2004 6:30 pm) Name three other cars in the 2.0 to 2.5L class against which it competed??? Passat is offically <2.0L as it would put it in a different tax bracket in Germany.
#10 of 738 Honda "Accord" Diesel by gatrhumpy May 31, 2004 (12:22 pm)
That car that was driven was an Acura TSX, not a Honda Accord. I understand that in Europe the TSX is a Honda Accord, but the cars are somewhat different when it comes to the body and engine.
