Replying to: toodoit (Oct 23, 2005 10:29 am) Can't do it. An unmodified car will not pass the emissions tests with the available diesel. I already asked about another vehicle and emission testing alone STARTS at $30K per test. That's why car makers limit the number of drivetrain configurations available to only the most popular choices - the costs of compliance are high.   Dont't worry - just wait - 6/1/06 is the availability date of low sulphur diesel and soon thereafter there'll be announcements from a number of makers about diesel vehicles. I wouldn't be surprised to see the new Accord in MY 08 offer the diesel with the CR-V offering it around the same time. Replies to this message: toodoit (Oct 24, 2005 6:24 pm)

Replying to: biker4 (Oct 24, 2005 4:25 pm) Thanks for the reply. It's not the answer I wanted, but is the answer I expected. But I'm just curious: what is involved in an emissions test (I'm assuming it's emissions) that would run $30K?

working on it. Hopefully in not too distant future 2-4 years?   http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=107691   This is what we've needed all along. Replies to this message: gpk (Apr 08, 2007 6:22 am)

Replying to: vcarreras (Oct 26, 2005 9:34 am) I would love to get a CRV with diesel. Otherwise I will have to look at the Ford Escape Hybrid for my next vehicle. A 6 sd AT would help as well..
