Honda traded GM for the technology they use in there diesel engines, and producted a diesel Honda Accord with some very impressive numbers. I've been trying to tell people for the longest time that the Saturn VUE Redline uses a Honda engine.

why the hell would honda wanna fuck with diesel engines? and, what kind of numbers do they put up? i always think of turbo diesel trucks, like dule wheel ones with a billion footpounds, and like 800 horse

Diesels are VERY popular in Europe, which is where the Diesel Civic is on sale.

Exactly, in over seas countrys diesel engines are cheaper to fuel then gasoline. It wouldn't surprise me if Honda imported the Accord, or Civic diesel to the North American market, as the Jetta TDI has always been a huge seller.

the saturn vue is ugly IMO and the whole honda motor in a saturn SUV is very odd

saturn VUE REDLINE is fucking tight. The rest of their line-up blows asthetically though.
