Thanks for the link.....a very nice advert
It's NOT just the FR-V and CR-V that will get a diesel next year. The 2005/2006 Civic will ALSO fearure all new Honda-Engineered Diesels replacing the old Isuzus, I've heared.... :shock:
As I had my 166 in the workshop due to side-panel replacement, I've had the Accord diesel for the last week as a replacement. It's a very very nice drive:
You can engage cruise control at around 33 mph in 5th and accellerate up to 60 mph(or whatever) simply by touch of the button. WITHOUT shifting down a gear !!
Top speed was around 130 mph, and NOT loud doing so. The wind-noise was louder but still not going on ones nerves.
It's so refined and sophisticated, even my mate who has been working as a mechanic with VW for the last 15 years couldn't believe the smoothness and build quality of the engine/car.
I've driven it for around 800kms now and will miss it I guess
