I would anticipate that Honda won't chance tarnishing their engineering reputation by bringing anything less than the most advanced and efficient diesel motor available.

People are buying the prius aren't they? Its hideous, the interior is horrible, the interface with the radio/navi etc. on the dash is horrible it really doesn't do anything right. Except that it gets 50 mpg (supposedly). The fuel economy is what will attract people to it, never mind the fact that its a diesel. If it gets 50 mpg and its in a half ass decent car (prius) people will buy it. Not to mention the resale is infinitley better.

Good performance, great fuel economy and great dependability. Whats not to like? With all the new CAFE requirements, by 2015 probably 75% of the autos and light trucks sold in the USA will have to be diesel. Diesel hybreds should really stretch the fuel.

Am sure Honda can do well with a diesel, BTW. They build generally good motors. Thanks global.

I'd take a proven technology such as a diesel over one of these hybrids any day. Just not a Honda diesel... to each his own I suppose.

The J35 is used in Honda's big cars, including the Odyssey, RL, Pilot, MDX, and Ridgeline. It's also used in the Saturn Vue. Improving the mileage of these platforms could get Honda to the proposed CAFE minimum of 35 MPG within a decade. Its about friggen’ time.
