Replying to: watkinst (Mar 28, 2008 3:43 pm) I agree, people will be caring more about MPG than having a big sedan that accelerates like a sports car. I think, though, that a well-engineered 2.5L diesel could even provide decent performance in a large sedan.   Let's go back 10 years in the past, to 1998. Imagine telling someone, back then, that you could get a large sedan to achieve 32 MPG combined, and go 0-60 in 7.5 seconds.....drumroll please..... powered by a DIESEL engine with a displacement of 3.0L or less! Most people would have thought you're nuts for believing such "nonsense." For example, look at some of the "quick" sedans that were on the market back in 1998:   1998 Lexus GS300: 7.5 sec 0-60, 22 to 23 MPG combined   1999 Acura 3.2TL: 7.7 sec 0-60, 22 to 23 MPG combined   1998 Lincoln Continental: 7.3 sec 0-60, 18 to 19 MPG combined   Now, within a couple years, we will have diesel-powered large sedans that can perform just as well as those respected sedans from 10 years ago, while getting 10 to 12 MPG better fuel economy. If you look at it from that perspective, it's pretty amazing.

Has anyone heard anything about this Renault/Nissan engine in its Renault incarnation? I believe it was supposed to be included in a nice looking Renault Coupe this summer or maybe it was this fall. I just thought perhaps we could get an advance peek at fuel efficiency and characteristics of this engine. Replies to this message: guyverfanboy (Oct 20, 2009 12:54 am)

#7 of 7 Diesel still in 2010? by volvowner Dec 05, 2009 (6:36 am)
I've seen reports that Nissan has delayed the launch of the Maxima diesel beyond 2010, but they weren't authoritative...more like rumors. Does anyone have any reliable information on Nissan's plans?   That car is on the top of my buy list, and it'd be really disappointing if it was delayed or canceled.
