Talk, talk,talk, talk,talk. That’s all you are going to get from Honda when it comes to Diesels for the USA market!

I love my CR-V and would like the chance to try one with a diesel in it. I have owned diesel trucks in the past and liked the mileage along with the torque and drivablility. The only real drawback was when they needed repairing it could get quite costly if not under warranty. Also need to add kerosene to the fuel when temps get well below zero.

You stated that you reserved a TSC Diesel. Did Acura actually take this order with a down payment? I too am excited about a Honda or Acura diesel, but when I called Honda the other day, they stated nothing for an Accord diesel hitting dealers lots in 2009. F Stiles

I wonder, if everyone that is interested in a Honda Accord Diesel car would acutually write a letter to Honda, it might help sway Honda in deciding to market one in the U.S. sooner.

I think Acura Cars should start making them Hybrid, trust me a lot of people would be purchasing them. My mom said if Acura was Hybrid she wouldn’t even think about it she would just buy the car. She likes the Acura Cars… She is still thinking of getting herself a new car. But she only wants Hybrid. So I hope in the future are maybe by next year we will at least have one are two modals of Acura that will be Hybrid.

6-cyl mini-van in diesel that Honda has hinted is needed.

First to the 35 MPG mini-van wins. VW won’t import theirs, Toyota won’t send their 40 MPG hybrid that they’ve had on the road for 7-YEARS! (cuts into their high-profit Sienna sales… just like the Big 3 suckled at the SUV teat, Toyota is too chicken to bring in competition to it’s cash cow . Ford and Chrysler sell diesel versions of their US model minivans in Europe (all at 30+ MPG).

Wake up auto makers of the world: Americans would eat up any 7 passenger vehicle that gets 35 MPG (40% better mileage than nearly every “high mileage” family hauler on the road). Too many US families want/need room than the Prius can provide: two adults, two kids, the stroller, one dog, luggage, etc. for the trip to Grandma’s.

Diesel WILL be at comparable cost to gas within a year. 40% better mileage. $3.00 per gal for regular will return sooner than you think. and even if diesel is at $4.00/gallon, you’ll pay a lot less to drive (only a 25% fuel cost premium).
