O. K. we disagree re the diesel 4 in the Oddy. Re the Accord: I saw an article on some lesser known auto web site that included the Accord with the Pilot,etc. that were getting the V6 diesel. Later, I went back to re read the article and noticed that "Accord" no longer appeared in the text. So,was this, "Accord V6 diesel", an error in the article,or was it a slip that was quickly corrected by the site? Dunno,just passing along what I saw.

Give it a couple more years. The Acura diesel should be here next year at this time. If it sells good maybe they will try some others.

some of us are using the older mbnz 5 cyl.diesel with good results and 28 to 35 mpg isn't bad even by todays standard.then there is a enhancer on the market that works well with gas or diesel ,and it reduces emmissions also!!also look at hydrogen boost for better fuel eco.and lower emmissions interested ??e-mail me thnx

Ummmm.... diesels don't have spark plugs. I have an 04 Jetta TDI, and oil changes are every 10,000 miles. I have 125,000 miles on the car, and I'm still on the factory front brakes. The maintenance for the motor is: Oil every 10k costs about $60. fuel filter every 20k costs about $30. Air filter, depends on conditions where you drive, but I'd say about 20 to 30k for mine... costs about $16.
The most important thing is changing the timing belt at 100k. That costs around $600.
As you can tell, I drive a lot, and over the life of the car I have averaged 46 to 47 mpg, with a best of 52 mpg. And the car has killed 2 deer. I'm hoping to get 300k out of the car before considering replacing it as long as a deer doesn't decide for me.

I think I remember reading acceleration times for the first-gen Odyssey...
0-60... eventually.

I think it might have been better with some holes in the floor so the passengers could "Flinstone It" to help out with acceleration.

Liked it.
