[amusing quip about torque]
LOL! I imagine the hardcore Honda fan-boys will denounce its low horsepower-liter ratio as blasphemy. So inefficient!!!!!pitchblack23 said:
Honda has been really good lately with aerodynamics, and w/ a turbo-diesel you should be able to gear it up top reaaally tall to get some great fuel economy on our big open roads down here. Just don't make it too tall and narrow and weigh it down with options like a VDub, and I'm on board for a cheap daily scoot. :thumbup:

I'll bet that what ever car that thing comes in will be awesome. It is a shame that just when VW should have a ton of TDi's on the lot, they are running low. I will most likely never buy another gas run auto.
Whomever made the decision regarding TDi demand at VW should be s**t-canned and sent to the minors.
Furthermore, you don't get the trim offerings with the TDi. My ultimate car right now would be the a Jetta GLi v6 TDi. JUST MADDD TORQUE. I would even take it with the PD 100hp. At least I could kick it up a notch and have a great looking car....
Can't wait for this to happen.

Dollar for dollar, diesels still make crappy performance engines though. They don't tend to be able to rev well, put out good horsepower for their size/cost, and tend to be heavier than a similar gasoline engine. I'd keep the gas car option available when you want something sporty. They both have their place.

Diesel will be the next big wave until someone brings HCCI to market.
