#21 of 744 Emissions by kcflyer Jun 21, 2004 (9:08 am)
A recent car and driver article on diesels was very informative on the liklehood of future diesels in the U.S. Despite the coming low sulpher fuels the NOx emissions standards of California are due to go nationwide by decades end. So unless a combination of intercooler and cat. converter technology arrives at a market friendly price we may lose the few diesel options we currently have.

Diesels will be able to meet upcoming requirements. It would be really great if Honda brought their Accord diesel over here. I'm not so sure they will - they already have 2 hybrids. Replies to this message: feliciatwo (Mar 23, 2008 7:11 am)
#23 of 744 leaning on 1982.............. by ezshift5 Jul 10, 2004 (7:36 am)
..technology.   It (my 22-year old pickup) can't last forever. Hopefully VW will have the positive market research (Joe SixPack - love that expression - nonwithstanding) to replicate/update the 1980-1983 Rabbit Diesel Pickup.   With 285k on the odo - still 55 HWP MPG capable (at about 60 enr Brookings, OR.......   best, ez Replies to this message: gagrice (Jul 10, 2004 9:34 am)

Replying to: ezshift5 (Jul 10, 2004 7:36 am) Amen, I keep my eyes open for a VW diesel PU. They are still the only decent Mileage small PU ever sold in this country. Virtually every country in the world sells small diesel PU's, except US. Pretty pathetic when 25 year old technology gets better mileage than any PU that is available new. Tells me the government & automakers are not interested in oil conservation.
#25 of 744 Why not bring the iCTDi over? by ahous Sep 15, 2004 (3:45 pm)
Honda introduced it to EU because half the cars sold there are diesels (they already have ULSD and they know better than to waste their time with hybrids). But it seems to me that in the US, Honda and Toyota are very CA-market driven, so probably waiting for CARB to get the clue (once ULSD is here?).
#26 of 744 Honda has plans by 307web Sep 20, 2004 (8:36 pm)
One of the auto tv programs said Honda will bring over an Accord diesel as soon as they can meet CA emissions. They think they will be able to do it when the new low sulfur fuel becomes mandated in the US in 2006. So, it will probably be the redesigned 2007 Accord that gets it.

Replying to: gagrice (Jun 20, 2004 8:44 pm) Motorweek had it on on monday. They have to get the Nitrogen oxide levels from .28 in the European version to .07 to sell it in the United states. If you had some good cats and some other features it could be affordable and clean. It shouldn't be much more than a regular V6 Accord. My autos teacher said they will have a prototype within the week.

Replying to: 307web (Sep 20, 2004 8:36 pm) It may be this body style after all. I forgot the redesigned Accord will be a 2008 model. Three more years of the basic body style with two years of the slightly updated 2006-2007 models. 40+ MPG with lots of around town torque without the hybrid complexity and cost will be nice in an Accord-sized vehicle.
#29 of 744 Autoweek 30AUG04 by glycinemax Sep 23, 2004 (10:43 am)
http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=100714   No "immediate" plans to intro diesel to US but it sure sounds like Honda is hard at work on the engineering to meet reg.s. Accord (possible), Accord wagon (pipe dream), CR-V (very possible), and/or Civic five door (doubtful but Mazda 3, A3, Golf) would all add to my confusion as to what to purchase next. Note to self: Must be patient a little while (2 yrs?) longer.
#30 of 744 Great looking Honda diesel by gagrice Oct 18, 2004 (8:50 pm)
If Honda brings the Accord Tourer i-CTDi diesel to America, Look out !!   'In our efforts to extend the Force's use of diesel vehicles, to aid both the environment and our fuel budget, our ongoing partnership with Honda and the new diesel accord enables us to achieve all these aims in one vehicle. The performance and reliability of Honda in front line operations have proven to be very successful and I have no doubt that the Accord's new diesel engine will continue that success'.   http://www.wiltshire.police.uk/news/newsview.asp?id=501
