the Honda Accord diesel 2.2 is actually Euro IV rated - I noticed that on a UK Honda site yesterday.

___One of the iCDTi Honda design managers posted a small piece on the web about the iCDTi’s emissions. It had a NOx emissions rating in g/mi of .28. This does not meet the Euro IV spec of .25 g/mi
___In terms of CO2, it is directly proportional to the amount of fuel you consume. A car that gets 40 mpg whether gasoline running a hybrid or std. ICE will output the exact same amount of CO2. There are CO2 emission refining differences between gasoline and Diesel which never show up in the figures but diesels always run lean so that helps on their side of the equation. I can’t go into any more specifics because it has been a long while since I was well versed …
___Rammstein, the Accord iCDTi broke 19 world records right off the lot with nothing more then a roll bar and communication gear for an automobile and engine in its category/class. The TDI’s did not accomplish anything similar to this. My Insight is for sale because some point in the very near future, my commute will be shortened significantly. At that point in time, it will not make financial sense to own 2 automobiles (4 door sedan and commuting coupe) for the same purpose(s).
___Good Luck
