Seriously though, the torque on that thing owns. To all of those who said it would be loud. We are talking about honda here. Do you actually think they are going to put something out on the market that sounds like ass? NO. It's not very attractive to buyers, so they are going to find a way to make them quiet. Personally I'd like to see them here on our shores.

DON'T!!!!!!!!! Any volkswagen product is a pile of junk...including the TDI. I used to work for VW, the chief complaint with the TDI was gas mileage not being what it should.

diesel accords are a great idea, i wish there was a diesel 4wd EURO R version in the states (with the TSX body of course) i'd buy one...all the power u can extract out of diesels so easily, and honda built a quiet diesel...c'mon, it's a honda after all....and still get 40mpg, how could u not like it?

Default gas vs diesel

i wanna try it

i would go with gasoline if the gas price goes down...

if not? then diesel...
i'll sacrifice myself to save some money...

no matter how well the diesel engines are made

the gasoline engines are better...
it's just that diesel is cheaper in every way...

A friend of mine was telling me that he knows this girl who owns an older model Mercedes diesel; to fuel the car she works one day a week at McDonalds and at rhe end of the day the used up french fry oil she puts in he car. Don't know how true it is though.
