hmm

For Europe first but I wonder how long it would take to come here?

And for sure it will be in the Legacy first.

Subaru will be watching Honda VERY CLOSELY when the 2009 Accord ultra-low emissions diesel bows (as will I). If it takes off, Subaru might follow within a year or two.

My money's on diesel becoming a fad again, at least here in New York State. Diesel fuel is still very heavily taxed here (it costs more than premium gasoline today), and that coupled with reduced winter starting performance will keep them sitting unsold on dealers lots.

There will of course be a few early adopters who must have the latest and greatest, but unless the government steps up to the plate and makes diesel fuel more affordable little will change.
