The Acura diesel may be canceled and since the Accord will probably be using the same or similar powertrain, it may also be canceled. It's unlikely they will go ahead and release it in the US without an automatic version since they would have probably sold 90% automatics anyway. http://www.leftlanenews.com/acura-puts-us-diesel-plans-on-hold.html

Replying to: quips (Oct 28, 2008 8:17 am) Don't hold your breath. I have wanted a small diesel PU truck since 1998. So far no company has brought one to the USA. VW is the only company that has been able to pass all the emissions to sell in all 50 states with a mid priced vehicle. Mercedes and BMW have passed the tests and will offer several pricey diesel rigs this year in all the states.

Replying to: gagrice (Oct 29, 2008 5:29 am) So your predictions will probably prove to be uncannily accurate gagrice - all the much-vaunted and well-advertised forays into diesel by the Japanese companies will come to naught, at least before 2010. And that's too bad.  Word on the TSX is that they will now put a V-6 in instead of the diesel that failed certification with the automatic. You know, the manual passed - wouldn't it be cool if they sold TSX and Accord diesel manuals while they improved the emissions of the automatics?

Replying to: nippononly (Oct 30, 2008 6:36 am) I just read that. Does Honda think because gas prices are back down that we want another gas guzzling V6? I realize that is the only way they can get the torque of a 4 cylinder diesel. Maybe they should try a little harder instead of making excuses. Oh well I would not have been interested in anything smaller than a Pilot diesel anyway. |

| I read the Left Lane news article and Honda was using the 6AT for the certification. Too bad they couldn't meet the standards. | |

Replying to: bornabruin (Nov 10, 2008 10:28 am) I wondered the same thing. They have all the test criteria. In fact they may have even done the testing. It is all pretty hushed up by Honda. I think it could be the exchange rate or any number of excuses.
