Now comes word from the TDI Club forums that the diesel sedan will be further delayed until late summer 2008 because of a "technical issue that was found during the later stages of durability testing."

Sad, very sad. A clean diesel is the next car I want. I wish Honda would hurry and bring it over to more than just 40K acura sedans.
