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 743 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 743 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.
#11 of 743 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?
#12 of 743 ULSD by mike91326 Jun 03, 2004 (9:46 am)
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.

Program cancelled.

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
