December 4, 200619 yr Honda Light Trucks May Gain V6 Diesel In an interview with Automotive News, Honda's CEO, Takeo Fukui said that the automaker's newly developed diesel technology will find its way into their light truck offerings of the future. The vehicles identified by Fukui as being the likely recipients of a V6 diesel are the Ridgeline pickup, Pilot SUV and Odyssey minivan, with Acura's MDX also being a candidate for oil-burning power. The V6 engine is currently under development and will likely debut sometime after Honda introduces their 2.2-liter diesel in 2009. Autoblog
December 4, 200619 yr the 2.2L going in all but the fit? (cars) more choices for people who would/will buy a honda is never a bad thing. just more reason to say toyota is a few miles back in this diesel race.

December 5, 200619 yr This actually sounds like a pretty good idea to me. There is a reason why it's called the Honda Motor Company: They build excellent engines.
December 5, 200619 yr If this kickstarts GM to throw more diesels into light duty trucks and sport utilities, then I am all for it. Edited December 5, 200619 yr by Captainbooyah
