Replying to: dewey (May 03, 2005 8:50 am) The only reason for that is that there are no Toyota diesels in the US. Unless the hybrid markup comes down to diesel markup levels ($1K or less over a similar gas model) there no economic reason to buy a hybrid.

Replying to: biker4 (May 16, 2005 8:08 am) I think the above is a great idea. I think Honda will sell the European Diesel Accord in N. America. In other words expect a pricey diesel TSX with a lot of standard equipment. Personally I like your No-Frills diesel Accord approach much better.

Actually the NA Accord is lighter than the TSX so the diesel would actually be faster. I think the larger vehicle with a diesel makes more sence. It goes along with the whole maximum efficiency thing. More space less fuel. The TSX is not much larger than a Corolla (or the new Civic), and they get 40+ mpg with their gas engines.

Replying to: timeshock (May 16, 2005 1:42 pm)  340Nm (250 lb ft) torque at 2,000rpm If I remember right the V6 Accord has about 213?? lb ft...at a higher rpm  0-60 9.1 seconds;  This is quite decend!!! top speed 130mph; wow... combined consumption 5.4 l/100km (52.3mpg); Overall these specs sound a little optimistic, but at least it gives us an idea what we MIGHT be able to expect. However, I want to see it first...

Replying to: rl81 (May 16, 2005 4:25 pm) Why? Because they use the imperial version of mileage. An imperial mile is less than a US mile. What the exact conversion is, I dont know? |
