Rumour has it that Subaru will be coming out with diesels in Impreza's and Legacy's, or in the Tribeca (yuck!) in 2006 or 2007 in Europe where over 50% of cars sold are diesels. Subaru has been slow making inroads in the european market because they don't offer diesel, so supply vs demand may just bring this about. We can hope that they will offer them soon in North America, but that will depend on their manufacturing capacity vs demand in europe. It's not like they can just hang out the diesel shingle here either as North American mechanics will have to be trained to work on diesels and the dealerships will have to retrofit to service them. We can only hope and keep our fingers crossed. The maybe someone will wreck one and you can buy the engine and drop it in your old suby!!! (I make it sound so simple!!!)
Cheers!!!
