Honda Develops Next-Generation Clean Diesel Engine

[narci]

I know it says 2006 news but heard on the radio it's coming real soon. Might come as early as 2008/2009 year.

It'll be in the CR-V, Civic and Accord if i can remember right.

I guess Honda now is focusing on diesel technology instead of hybrid technology. The discontinuing of the Accord Hybrid is no big deal IMO, it never was that great. Might as well gotten an Accord regular 4cyl or V6 and get the same results. Hybrids are not meant to be about performance, but more for efficiency. Let Toyota handle the hybrids!

The diesels are slated to sell for the same prices as the hybruds.

Honda 2 Make Diesel V6 4 U.S. by 2010 (http://www.leftlanenews.com/honda-to-make-diesel-v6-for-us-by-10.html)
Honda is apparently developing a low-emission diesel V6 engine specifically designed for the U.S. market for the 2010 model year. The engine would be most likely to appear in the Odyssey minivan at first, although installation in Acura sedans and SUVs is a possibility.

According to Nikkei Weekly, a Japanese weekly newspaper, the motor will be designed for vehicles currently using Honda's 3.5 liter V6 engine. Honda is also looking to import its newly developed 2.2 liter four-cylinder diesel engine to the United States. This engine is designed to fit in cars such as the CR-V and Acura TSX.

Hehe, looks like you guys will be soon polluting environment with diesels. I guess diesel "virus" is also coming to states :D

Aha dont forget that you will need to change gears at 4500 rpms so say goodbye to 7000 :D

Newer diesel engines pollute just as much as hybrids of today.

"The “D” is for diesel. And if you’re thinking, “Oooo, a stinky, soot emitting diesel” you would be wrong. In addition to achieving a better-than-60 U.S. m.p.g. (3.9 L/100 km) rating, the Mini D’s carbon dioxide tailpipe emissions are 104 g/km — a figure that, not incidentally, matches the cleaner-than-thou Prius. "
