Honda is apparently developing a low-emission diesel specifically designed for the U.S. market for the 2010 model year. The engine would be most likely to appear in the Odyssey minivan at first, although installation in sedans and SUVs is a possibility.

According to Nikkei Weekly, a Japanese weekly newspaper, the motor will be designed for vehicles currently using Honda's 3.5 liter V6 engine. Honda is also looking to import its newly developed 2.2 liter four-cylinder diesel engine to the United States. This engine is designed to fit in cars such as the CR-V and Acura TSX.

You knew Japan Inc was going to do this sooner or later.

What do you mean sooner or later? We knew about this almost 2 years ago. And they've been selling a 2.2L diesel in Europe for quite a while.
