I think theyre making just the standard civic available with a deisel. The strides that have been made in deisel technology the past few years are huge. I was in europe this summer and drove a FORD deisel station wagon. If they sold that here, it would sell. You couldnt even tell it was a deisel (turbo too), aside from being able to hear the turbo spool. It idled as smooth as a gas engine. Im sure the Honda's will be at least as good, if not better.

I'd get a deisel if it wasnt so hard to find it at gas stations..

where the hell do you live?? ( i know its by your name)
diesel is available here at every gas station, unless you go to denver, then there are a few suburbs that banned diesel and you can get a ticket for driving a diesel in their area, anyways IMO you dont need a diesel in a car only for a truck, also diesel fuel is almost the same price as mid/premium gas is where i live.... a diesel CTR would be a waste, just like the new mugen Si, dont even get me started on that

diesel is at fewer gas stations than not where i live. baton rouge, louisiana. i'm reserving comments on a diesel ctr until i see one.

Diesel now days usually gives better gas mileage and better performance “HP and torque” over gas, so a diesel CTR would be very nice.

is honda that desperate to make torque that they will make diesel cars now

Diesel can be hard to come by in some areas, but it's not THAT difficult. I'd buy a diesel Civic, if I didn't just buy a 190D.

On a side note, my 190D runs a 14 (I believe) gallon diesel tank (40mpg highway on diesel) and a 15 gallon secondary tank full of vegetable oil (free, 35mpg highway or so), so I don't have to fill up very often.
