I see two applications for the new clean turbodiesel engines in the USA:

1. 2.3-liter I-4--rated at around 150 bhp, will become available for Honda CR-V small SUV, Honda Element small SUV, and possibly Honda Accord sedan.

2. 3.2-liter V-6--rated at around 210-220 bhp, will become available for Honda Ridgeline truck, Honda Pilot SUV, Acura MDX SUV and possibly Honda Odyssey minivan.

Note that both engines will have very high torque peaks around 1,800 rpm, perfect for SUV-type applications.
