#715 of 738 Re: Cancellation of US Diesel [nippononly] by gagrice Oct 30, 2008 (12:22 pm)
Replying to: nippononly (Oct 30, 2008 6:36 am) Word on the TSX is that they will now put a V-6   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.

Replying to: biker4 (Oct 25, 2008 5:46 am) I wonder why Honda used the 5AT instead of the 6AT? They could play with the gear ratios to get the same ranges as the 6MT. How far off was the 5AT version? One wonders why they would send a car for certification that wouldn't pass. When a car fails certification, do they get additional attempts or do they have to wait for next year?

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) One wonders why they would send a car for certification that wouldn't pass. When a car fails certification   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.

Replying to: gagrice (Nov 10, 2008 12:15 pm) My question now is what is Honda going to put in the "Camry and Altima" market segment? Their last attempt at a hybrid didn't pay attention to why people buy hybrid cars i.e. high mileage... .   OTOH, I don't understand how their 2.4L engine only gets 1-2 better MPG than the six which is a liter larger in displacement, but I'm getting off topic...

Replying to: bornabruin (Nov 10, 2008 2:09 pm) In the real world, most people are seeing much more than 1-2 mpg difference between 4 and 6 if they do much city driving. On the highway, it may not be much difference.

Consumer Reports got the i4 at 3 mpg better than the v6 overall. The diff is greater in the city. Replies to this message: bornabruin (Dec 12, 2008 1:29 pm)
#722 of 738 Just 3 MPG? by bornabruin Dec 12, 2008 (1:29 pm)
Replying to: dudleyr (Nov 12, 2008 6:44 am) Seeing as the 4 cyl is giving up aboutt a liter of displacement to the 6 cyl engine, I'm not sure why you wouldn't see a greater difference. Could this be weight related i.e. you have to expend x number of horsepower to push y number of pounds and the 4 works pretty hard to do that while the 6 does not?
#723 of 738 How dead is the project? by bornabruin Dec 12, 2008 (2:10 pm)
Anyone know how "dead" this project is? Is Honda going to develop further and bring this out in 2010+ or did Honda completely pull the plug on the diesel?

Replying to: bornabruin (Dec 12, 2008 2:10 pm) Yeah, is there any update on this vehicle ? Or is it a 2010 thing?
