ok as this being my first posting and all don't fry me or anything. but i had a chance to look at one of the new accord i-ctdi's today. i think it looks like a decent car, didn't get a chance to drive it, but i plan to test drive one soon. i will say here in germany diesels are very common in cars, diesel is quite a bit cheaper than gas here. if they decide to make an american spec of this car i might seriously look into one.

Bio diesel is interesting, I was thinking of converting a diesel to bio diesel with an old beater and see what kind of gas milage I could get from it.

the accord is a turbo diesel.

Looks like a bad ass car. If it was sold in the US in that TSX trim with a price of an accord I would persuade anyone into gettign one. ~50mpg and the cheaper price of diesel would be great. I'm sure it doesn't smoke or sound like ass either.

In poland gas is around $1 per liter so close to $4 per gallon. Diesel is half of that. Imagine that you would have to pay $4 per gallon and then ask yourself about the diesel which costs half that of gas and is more fuel efficient.
