xbalancex7 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 and guess what? I asked them about their new up and coming turbo diesel powerplant that they are releasing this year here is subaru's reply to my inquires... "Thank you for visiting the Subaru Web site and for your interest in Subaru products. The plan is to introduce a turbo-diesel powered model in Europe next year. Once this model is on the market in Europe, our manufacturer will review the sales results, performance and feedback from owners. At that time, a decision will be made as to whether or not to offer this model in the US. It would have to be modified to meet the stricter standards of the US government. We do appreciate that you brought this interest to our attention. I have forwarded your message to our Product Planning Department as a suggestion to offer turbo-diesel Subaru models in the United States and as soon as possible. Thank you for the opportunity to be of assistance. If you need any future assistance, please let us know. " product is driven by supply and demand so lets get the word out!!! we want the boxer turbo diesel in AMERICA!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 My daily driver is a Diesel VW. I don't think VW offers any diesel AWD in the US. What they call 4motion. Just imagine that torque tied to AWD. Along with mileage, dependability, and longevity. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbalancex7 Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 yes I agree, we need to cooperate and do all that we can to voice the presence of a need for this platform. We need that design in the US of A. I believe it is truely inspirational. Look for small diesels in america,.......they practically don't exist. We need them to exist with a noticable presence. and especially the key things you hit on, awd or 4x4.....I personally would prefer a part time 4x4 system like the early roo's but hey, I'll take what I can get at this point. spread the word folks........lets let our desires be known......subaru boxer turbo diesel please!!!!!!!

SakoTGrimes Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Many modern diesels, even the 6.7 Cummins are very very quiet, you can hardly tell they're a diesel from a distance. I wouldn't be surprised if a few gas station owners paid to replace a few engines in the near future when their customers don't tell them "Fill with Diesel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OB99W Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Besides Oregon, I think New Jersey is the only other state that still doesn't allow "self-serve". As far as a mix-up with diesel and gas, it's certainly happened with delivery before; when it does, it affects lots more vehicles than an individual mistake at the pump. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=diesel+gas+mix-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyewdall Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Last time I filled up in Oregon, I pulled up to the station, and the attendant looks at my subaru and says to me "that's the ugliest car I've ever seen". Retard. THe new 6.7 liter cummins dodge trucks don't sound like diesel's any more -- my old mazda pickup with a small exhaust leak is way louder.
