Well that's the market we were talking about...the US market, and the Big 3.

I heard that honday and toyota are going to start selling diesel passenger cars when low-sulfur diesel hits our shores (2007??)... I have a strong feeling that my next car will be a diesel car in five or six years

Give it some time. Right now 90% of people aren't even interested in even checking it out. Once they know someone that has one, and see what is has to offer, more people will be buying them. I checked it out at the auto show and I was really impressed. I like the fact that it has a large, weatherproof, lockable compartment in the bed (big enough to hold 2 full golf bags). And it does not affect the size of the bed. The interior is also full of storage compartments, not to mention comfortable with better styling than chevy.

The only thing I hate about it is that the stereo controls require you to lean forward and stretch out to reach. Other than that, it's very well designed.

And I must be in the 2% of people who think the EP3 looks really good...the only thing sucking is the weaksauce suspension and the base RSX motor. Ugh.
