I'll wait, if possible, for either the Accord or the Subaru Outback diesel option before making a decision. I'll usually keep a car for a long time. My current one is a 1997 Contour: it runs well and its gasoline mileage in typical for most cars today that have 4 bangers under the hood. I think it, the diesel, is worth the upfront increased costs in fuel for better cost-per-mile averages, but I think that's a minority view. Still, my choice will be a diesel. I would love to AVERAGE 33 mpg. The initial hit at the pump will be compensated for --- it is just a matter of few trips to the pump, but each visit becomes an event! It will be okay. |

Replying to: nippononly (Aug 12, 2008 7:08 am)  I feel like Honda is being like Ford with the new 3.5L that was to debut in the Ford Five Hundred, Lincoln Zephyr, et. al. It's right around the corner...ALWAYS. Maybe I'm wrong, but it sure seems like they have been on the cusp of releasing this car for awhile now. I'm pretty positive I remember the 2009 Accord and CR-V were to get a diesel, a little while ago.

Replying to: nippononly (Aug 12, 2008 6:41 pm) The other thing Honda will be releasing the new Hybrid that will compete against Prius, in 2009 calendar year. That may kill the sells for the Accord diesel, if the mileage is 60 MPG and the price of the new Honda hybrid is $18,5000. I know that all dealer will get a large number of this vehicle since Honda will be allocating 100,000 car for US the first year, not like the Jetta, that they are producing only 20,000 TDI for USA. Another thing that people they don’t know about Honda; Honda have been making Diesel engine for a long time, there engine is proven reliable over many years in other parts of the world. The other thing is the part supplier for the injection system for both VW and Honda is Bosch.

Replying to: malmouza (Aug 20, 2008 6:33 am) Yes, but the new hybrid is a 5-door hatch, not everyone's cup of tea, and will be much smaller than the Accord. Think: they have been planning the Accord diesel for quite a while, all the while selling the Civic hybrid, which will be a much closer competitor. Indeed, those two MAY cannibalize each other a bit, although I expect there will be a solid $4000-5000 in price difference between them. And really, we can't be SURE yet that diesel and hybrid buyers will cross-shop with the other. Those two camps might be mostly mutually exclusive.
