Do you think we will get a Honda diesel?
My gut says no, but since Honda's admitted to closely watching the 3 cylinder Fiesta, I would guess the incoming Colorado diesel and potential Frontier diesel would also garner the same attention if they aren't already trying to decipher the Ram eco-diesel numbers.
The new Ridgeline is still 2 years out? Could that imply a diesel option? I still. Think no with the 2.0t promising upto 280 hp.
Given the reception the Hyundai "pickup" received this week in Detroit, I think Honda knows the only thing the Ridgeline needs is a butched up look, a refined interior, and respectable MPG. They won't need a stateside diesel for that. Hell, I'm a loyal Tacoma owner, and I'm waiting to see if the new Ridgeline delivers.
Ford's already in the process of updating their 2.0 and promising better than 240 hp and 270 lb-ft. If the 2.7 can move the F150, surely a superior Honda engine would be good enough for light truck duty.
