What is wrong with Honda?

If you could get a SUV with all wheel drive that got 42.2 mpg or you could get the same SUV with 23 mpg, which would you choose? I'm guessing you would probably choose the SUV that gets 42.2 mpg. So, what if you were not allowed to have the SUV with the higher performance engine?

I'm am completely dumb founded as to why Honda has both of these vehicles but won't sell the higher performing vehicle in the United States. In the UK the CR-V comes with a CTDi diesel that gets nearly twice the performance as the American model without the diesel engine (Oh and the UK non-diesel that gets 34 mpg.)

How does it make you feel that Honda tells you that there isn't a market in the USA for a high mileage SUV?

Please write to Honda and your state Representatives and let them know you want the CTDi available in the American Honda vehicles.

Are Diesel cars legal in California again? That could be part of the problem.
