Wow, a Honda Civic with some torque!

:shocked:

Too bad it's the ugliest Civic yet (I think the US '07 Civics look "nice") and probably won't be offered in the US anytime soon. Probably wouldn't look as bad with traditional headlights.

A whole 188 ft-lbs? Hell my Camry is 145 ft-lbs...

That's pretty low torque considering it's a 2.2 liter turbo diesel. So it's still typically Honda!! 😀

Just as a comparison, the 2.0 liter turbo diesel that Subaru is working on is supposed to put out around 250 lb/ft of torque.

I prefer the 388 lb-ft of torque in the Mercedes E320 Bluetec. Then again, it is a 3.0-liter engine.

Jetta TDI production will commence in January of 2008, with U.S. availability scheduled for May of '08, at a starting price of about $23,000 and a typically equipped car listing for $25,000, which is in line with the outgoing model, according to spokesman Keith Price.

Nice price for what sounds like a great car with great gas mileage. It might just be my next vehicle.
