#11 of 739 So, what's coming to the US? by 307web Jun 02, 2004 (1:59 pm)
When does the new, cleaner diesel fuel come to the US? I know 2006, but will it all change on January 1 2006? It should have to start sooner than that since 2006 models will start coming out in 2005.   Have any vehicles been announced as becoming available in all 50 states by 2006 models? I would think some European models that have already been in production will start to be imported to the US and some US manufacturers will come out with new models, but what?

I understand that ULSD must be sold no later than 7/01/06. My local Ford dealer told me that Ford wants to offer a diesel Focus for 2007 if they can sell it in all 50 states.

I'd be interested in a diesel Accord. I would take a look if/when they make it here.

I would love that diesel Accord/TSX especially in a wagon.

The CARB in California (per Wall Street several months ago now) embraces the "common rail" technology. The technology is in place and 18 wheelers (from Ham radio contacts) the new fuel is required now and the several I've talked have the new diesels.   GM's Duramax smells and sounds like one of their gas V-8's personal experience and from many friends. Not sure why GM & Ford aren't offering more in those oversized/misused SUV's? Could it be they haven't figured out how to convince the ladies using self-serve pump that diesel doesn't smell?   I still say GM should correct it's late 70's diesel gas-engines nightmare, they caused one bad impression. New marketing campaign. Personally I like the idea of 2.7 v-6 common rail diesel 206 hp 360 ft.lbs. torque 1800 rpm and 47.8 mpg at steady state interstate speed. Over 43 mpg at least the Ford of Europe's offering in the Jag. Actually that's way more than enough. The 2.8L MB v-6 (164 hp & 324 ft. lbs. 1900)in the "Sprinter" (tall) delivery van Fed-EX is now using is averaging 20-25 mpg. Direct from a manager of a HUB. Paul N8BUU

Replying to: f111d (Jun 18, 2004 6:06 pm) In CA they definitely have. If the law was consistent it would be better accepted. It makes no sense to allow someone to drive a large PU that has an EPA emissions rating of 2. And disallow a smaller vehicle with a rating of 4 with very low green house gas emission. I thought this statement in the article you posted was appropriate.   "The results of the study lead ABI Research, in its new report, "Diesel Light Vehicles", to suggest that OEMs should aim their diesel products at non-urban markets, where users would most likely get better economy with a diesel than with a hybrid".
#19 of 739 Of course Joe sixpack will not listen by chrisducati Jun 20, 2004 (7:50 am)
Someone made note of Joe six-pack, He is my congressman right? I think he needs to drive one of these diesel cars. I would buy an Accord in a heart beat if it had a good diesel in it. with gas prices over $2.20 I'm crying for 45mpg...damn I'm crying for 55mpg! Better yet combine hybrid tech with these great diesels and get close to 70 mpg. Right now Joe is buying a huge SUV that gets 12 mpg.

Replying to: chrisducati (Jun 20, 2004 7:50 am) Remember Arnold said he has no intention of getting rid of his 4 or 5 Hummers. At least he is honest about it unlike many of the Hollywood greenies. We need to get the inconsistency out of the CARB rules. Replies to this message: hotshot24 (Sep 21, 2004 5:44 pm)
