Id like to see an Accord Euro hybrid. If its priced around same price as luxury it could do well

It wont come out with Hybrid with the current shape (although a Diesel is planned). Who knows what the next shape will have on offer

Although I doubt they will hybridize the Euro, that would be better suited to the normal Accord imo

It's hard to say, with the global rise in oil and the diminishing supply, I don't see why Honda is not looking into that. The diesel Accord Euro is now being tested at Honda HQ in Tulla awaiting final evaluation... My mate has seen it and it's not as loud as what people think they would be...

i-CTDi is designed to sound like a petrol engine and doesn't emit black smoke.

Where does the black smoke go to instead? Into the oil (sludge alert)?

I doubt they can get rid of the black smoke completely, even the new Golf Diesels blow a puff of smoke when thrashed.

There are 2 cats. The first is a reactor with a custom catalyst (I don't think anyone has used it before) that binds the diesel particles and then through a regenerative catalyst, turn it into CO2, CO and water (plus what ever impurities that are in the diesel like SOx and NOx). That then goes into the 2nd one, which is like a conventional cat so that the SOx and NOx are bound and reduced.

There is a video of it on world.honda.com.

Power aside, the 2.0 TDI has 320Nm of torque... that's as much as a WRX, and more than a GTI!

I'm not suggesting that it's fast exactly (I bought a petrol 2.0 FSI in preference - couldn't get used to a redline below 5,000rpm), but it sure does pull. I'll be interested to see how drivable the diesel Euro is in comparison.
