Come October, watch for Diesel cars to get a big push. And watch for Honda's diesel. They could possibly change how history looks at diesel engines; as being clean burning and better than gasoline engines.

The enviros will kill it, just like they kill any other diesel out there. About 15 years ago the ford ranger was available with a diesel. Got 55mpg on the highway and 40 around town. Environazis killed it off quick.

No they won't. New EPA rules regarding the formulation for diesel take effect. Many car companies, including Honda, have ultra clean burning diesel engines that you won't even know are running diesel (no smog or clanking diesel sounds that we associate with diesel engines).
