| I love my tsx, but would trade it and my wife's cr-v for diesel versions if they were available here. The above comment re: buying what businesses offer is exactly the mentality that got GM in the trouble it is in. Onlt alternative is Passat but given VW's reputation for quality,no thanks. | |

http://www.auto123.com/en/info/news/news,view.spy?artid=39381&pg=1 IT IS OFFICIAL HONDA WILL INTRODUCE DIESELS IN USA AND CANADA DURING 2007! Expect a diesel CRV and Accord/TSX. Great news indeed. Although the folks at the "Honda Accord Owners Future Models Forum" treated this announcement as if Honda is introducing some kind of Bubonic Plague Injection!!

Replying to: dewey (May 02, 2005 7:52 pm) Toyota Yaris is sold in "North America." Acura EL is sold in "North America." You added that bit about USA that was not in the article you linked. They never officially or directly state that Honda is releasing diesels in the USA. There were some assumptions and editorializing by the author in the article also.

Replying to: 307web (May 02, 2005 9:13 pm) The statement above is quoted in the article I linked. If it would be sold solely in Canada, it would be mentioned as a "Canadian Intro", just like the BMW 320i and Acura EL were "Canadian Intros " when introduced. Otherwise cars like the Accord and Civic are called vehicles for the North American market. And that does include USA. Assumptions/editorilizing of the author? I saw a press conference from Honda regarding their upcoming diesels. It is somewhere out there on some web link---when I have time I will try to find it!! In fact it is not an assumption, it is an announcement(BIG DIFFERENCE) |

307web, http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=102192 "We are working to meet the regulations, and we are going to offer diesel cars in the United States in the very near future," Hagino told an audience at the SAE World Congress in Detroit this week." The above quote is from the link above. This quote is from Hagino, senior director manager of Honda(not exactly a creative writer who editorializes). Diesels will be in USA as soon as Honda engineers can achieve future emissions approval. If VW , Dailmer Chrysler and BMW engineers are able to pass future emissions regulations, then definitely Honda engineers would be able to do it, dont you think?

Replying to: gagrice (May 03, 2005 8:26 am) I dont know what the stats are in the USA, but in Canada the MB300CDI is selling like hotcakes and TDIs represent 40% of VW sales.
