425 ft-lbs at 1750 RPM? Yes please.
I wonder if they were able to keep the weight distribution 50/50 with the heavier diesel engine up front.

That's all fine and dandy, but if the thing is going to cost $50k, then it's outta my reach, until it has several thousands hours of butt on its upholstery.

Yeah, well no one said it would be cheap. It'll be Honda that'll bring these nice diesels to the masses I think, I mean after the Honda dealers stop charging 5,000 "market adjustments" on them.
I remember when the new Civic Si came out they were $30K because I guess some people will actually pay an extra 5 grand to be the 1st one on the block!

I would be interested in a honda diesel if it was affordable... like a base model at 15k... at least. then it would be a better buy than a fortwo...

Joe...I should've let you take the Jetta for a spin.
You would've have been surprised and impressed. Honestly. Btw.... still on the same tank of gas that I had on the way to the GTG....trip odometer now reads 513 miles...might have to fill up this weekend.
