I am seriously in the market for a replacement for my 2001 Accord 4 cyl 5 sp. I drove a new 2012 Passat TDI and Sportwagen TDI from VW yesterday and was quite impressed. My 10 mile test drives averaged 38 mpg on curvy back roads in central virginia and the acceleration was great. I won't be purchasing till Jan or Feb of 2012. I would rather have AWD so the question is who will have 4wd/awd diesel on these shores 1st? Subaru needs to have someone light a candle under Mr.Ikuo Mori!

I am sure at some point we will se some flavor of it in US due to the gas prices and new gas mileage laws. This could definitely be a very exciting thing if Subaru brings it here.

I've owned two Subarus in that time. Driving a Mini Cooper Now ...but what is my Fantasy? A sleeker looking Subaru with more head room than before AND with a Diesel/Hybrid engine. I've waited for this for so long....I'll probably be dead by the time anybody brings one to the USA. It's a waist to put Diesel in a sedan ...when Diesel gives us the torque to TOW like crazy.....come on some one please bring me my Fantasy...and don't make it look like a Lawence Welk sedan . ...or a GM square box.
