Honda and Diesels: Happy, happy, joy, joy!
Autoblog reports that Honda is on track to bring California emissions-compliant diesels to the U.S. in late 2008, which is great news for those of us who like an engine that combines extremely long life and durability, coupled with tons of torque and great fuel efficiency.
And the Accord hybrid? History.
Honda has marketed diesels in Europe for years, where the crude-powered cars outsell gasoline versions by more than 2-1.
To get you in the mood for a very different diesel from the dreck inflicted on us by American automakers in the 1980s, check out this ad from Honda U.K.; it gives us a taste of what's coming our way.
