That 2.2 turbo has a bit more HP than the 2.3 gasser in my Accord, plus 110 extra foot lbs of torque and 20 more mpg.
I love modern diesels. Lets hope Honda can build a tranny that can withstand the torque. They definitely don't overbuild their trannies like MB does.

Japanese diesels have been around for upteen-um years. Most vehicles in Asia are diesels (Toyota, Fuso, Mitsubishi, Hino...) and proven their worth..

That thing is butt ugly. Doesn`t have the style and grace our old
Benzes have. I can vouch for the long givity of the Jap Diesels with my Datsun PU. I don`t get 50 plus mpg, but I can buy a lot of diesel for the cost of a new vehicle. Better wait for the bugs to be worked out on any new introduced vehicle. Charlie

I've owned a Datsun diesel like you do. Great engine but everything else was so so. The SD22 looks like a copy of an old Mercedes diesel right down to the Bosch IP.

surely not.
I agree that the pics make it look a little banglish in its style, but it might look better in person. I really like the new honda four doors i have seen. Tom W

I saw an unmolested datsun diesel in a parts yard. Any premium parts that I should grab? This one is not a turbo.

I wonder how much more it will sticker for over the gas model?
Bet its pretty quick with all that torque, probably has a 5spd auto. The downside is that its a Civic, so it looks like a space ship and is designed and built for kids. The new Civic is a strange looking little car.
