I am a "clean diesel fan" and EXTREME "dirty diesel foe."

Apparently, this Accord diesel engine is one pretty amazing piece of machinery. we will have to wait until Honda gets a USA version and the EPA tests it to see how close it approaches PZEV as one of the cleanest vehicles you can buy.

Once THAT happens, one of these would be a decent alternative to a TCH.

My dream car is a DIESEL/ELECTRIC hybrid 5-passenger sedan rated at 70+ combined MPG and AT-PZEV from the EPA.

Someone makes one of those, and I move both Heaven and Earf to get one in my driveway.
