Honda Diesels Coming to U.S.?

Washington DC May 25, 2006; The AIADA newsletter reported that Honda President Takeo Fukui said in an interview with the Yomiuri newspaper that diesel versions of the Odyssey minivan and Acura MDX SUV are planned for U.S. markets. Diesel versions of these models could come to the U.S. as soon as 2009, reports MarketWatch. Honda sells diesel cars in Europe, and just this past week a survey rated the diesel-powered Accord as Europe's most reliable car.
