kevinsUBARU Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Definately good news. I found this picture and caption in my Subaru Impreza book, and I might as well share it now It was offered in a diesel version, so it kind of goes with this thread. "The Subaru line-up was quite extensive now (1992), ranging from minicars to GTs to off-roaders - the Isuzu Bighorn, seen here, was also sold as a Subaru, including the "Handling by Lotus" version introduced in early 1992" and for those who are too lazy to click that link....

Quote from autoblog article stating that the engine "produce sounds similar to Beelzebub (the devil) gargling a Harley". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forester2002s Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Diesel engines for cars have made huge strides in recent years. I recently rented a car in Europe (Spain actually). I didn't realize that it was a diesel at first; it was very quiet, and very smooth. And no noticeable exhaust smell/smoke. It was the 'flat' torque-speed characteristics that made me realize that this was a diesel (high-torque at low revs.). I was very impressed with that engine (BTW it was a Ford). If Subaru can do as well, I may be the in the market for a diesel next time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Diesels are popular the world over but not really in North America. I drove a nice Nissan frontier diesel in Thailand. Well they arent popular here for two reasons. GM did a really good job on ruinung the reputation of diesels. Secondly our emission standards wont let them in, but thats about to change. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
