i love diesels, they are so cool. I assume it is turbo? i couldn't find the engine specs on that site. that would be awsome if they brought it stateside.

Probably not a turbo diesel, Honda has never made a Turbo anything, but I guess the 07 civic si or type-r is suppose to have one, we'll see. As for this 92mpg Accord, I'd love to own one. I would probably buy this over the RSX that I was planing on. More info on this coming to the US will be apreciated.

one of the very first hondas were turbo...

hmmmmm, i doubt any of us city guys can get 90 mpg even with that car... they were doing over 100mph so that doesnt really count as every day driving...

edit: sorry to be kinda off topic but here it is =P

um....getting an accord to hit 84 mph in ONE mile is pretty bad. the reason it gets such good milage is its slower than ****.

What kind of power will you be making with what kind of thermal and volumetric efficiency without a turbo on a diesel engine for a passenger vehicle? Almost all diesel motors are turbo.... it is a proven reliable technology.

And I SERIOUSLY doubt that you know what you are talking about when you say that the next gen si and ctr will have a turbo diesel engine. It will be most likely a k20 or k24 variant.

In fact, I don't think you know wtf you are talking about.

When we have better low-sulfur low emmission diesel fuel stateside, we will get that motor... ie. never.

Thanks for really being a dick about that bud, sorry if I didn't know about Honda’s early year turbo cars, and as for the 06 or 07 Turbo SI or Type-R, I wasn't talking about a DEISEL. I was told about a k series being boosted in a few years, Whether its true or not, I don’t know..

its gonna do as well as the turbo deisel VWs in the US. that milage is impressive, but the fact that it takes a mile to hit the same speed as mildly modded accord can do int eh 1/4 mile indicates its a low power commuter car, nothing like the current accords available in the US now.
