For some strange reason, the U.S. is sort of like the village of the damned when it comes to cool overseas products, because we never seem to get anything that our friends overseas get. Take the Civic Type-R, for instance. It's a sweet hatch that looks way cooler than the Si coupe or sedan Honda sells Stateside. Now comes word from Autocar in the UK that the Type-R will soon receive a high-revving diesel engine. The 2.2L turbodiesel, which will also power the 2009 Accord, is rumored to kick out 180 HP and 320 ft-lbs. of torque. A top Honda powertrain engineer, Kenichi Nagahiro, says that the diesel-powered Type-R will live up to the Civic Type-R's performance standards. All that fun and 40-50 mpg sounds like something that would sell in the U.S.

i would swap the motor into somethin else. all civics post 2000 are fugly.

but dayum, thats a massive step up from b series or even k series for that matter

[fuzzy moonunit]

Sounds cool and all, but where is this "high-revving" diesel going to make its power? What good is 320ft/lbs @ 1800 with front wheel drive?

Fugly squared....

Sounds like something that will sell in the US?? LMAO

40-50 MPG IS A 30% INCREASE over a current Civic.
Diesel is now $3.09 a gallon Gas is $2.69 13% LESS.

This car will sell for more then $10000 over a Gas Civic.

NOT WORTH IT.


Unless it can Tow 5000#

don't forget the retarded diesel EPA restrictions we have, unlike the rest of the world, because the rest of the world thinks we're the cause of global warming...

"Hey fox bodies, my new Civic has five lug nuts, huh, you only have four.."

hey, at least this one makes enough torque to tighten it's own lug nuts...

[pubestripe]

they are putting diesels in the odyssey, accord and pilot in 09. the first diesel honda is scheduled to be the ridgeline!!!

i love this civic, even if it was 35k i would still buy it.
