Yes!! I'm glad i bought mine last August............i am loving the money i am saving on gas! I hope it doesn't hit $4 a gallon..........but if it does, I'm prepared! We only have control over the vehicles we choose to drive..........not the price of the gas they run on!!

I believe the Honda CRV will be the first to arrive with the diesel in it to our shores.

The Accord will be first, then the CR-V. There is also a V-6 diesel for the Pilot, Ridgeline, and Acura MDX. I'm sure the Acura RL will get one too, just because the Accord will, and they need a better way to distinguish the RL from the TL and Accord (beside SH-AWD of course).

I'm done with Hondas. I've owned two Civics and had more problems with them then all my other cars combined, including two Fords.

Really? What year Civics? I had an '88 civic and it ran great and always got around the 40's on MPG's, despite some agressive driving. My wife has a '97 Honda Accord that has been a very low maintenance car. But seriously, worse than fords?!?! You got lucky with the fords and unlucky with the civics!

I agree we had 2 civics that we beat the hell out of, and they never let us down

We've had at least one Honda in the garage since 1983 starting with an Accord Hatchback, then to a 1988 Accord, a 1998 Accord, and a 2004 Pilot. They've never let us down. Sorry to hear about your bad experiences.

My Infiniti wasn't as reliable as the Honda's were, but nothing to complain about. Now if I went for the BMW 328xi over the NAH, then I'd have some serious complaining and blogging to do. Hopefully, the Altima will be just as, if not more, reliable as the Infiniti was.

What will the price of gas have to be before people start buying fuel efficient cars en masse? I know that $4/gallon will be a sticker shock, but at what price does it really start to hurt?
