BenMara Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Is Subaru of America ever going to bring the diesel Outback or the Diesel in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassnectar Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 only after America realizes they can not have all the worlds gas Or i doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Maybe when they are going Euro 6 (which is intended to be compatible with the US emissions regulations as far as I know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Probably not. Or not any time soon. Americans hate diesels, apparently. A diesel, base model, manual transmission Impreza would sell like crazy, I think. Cheap, fuel efficient, AWD, what more could the "average person" want?

ehsnils Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 We have that over here. 6MT with 33/47 mpg city/highway. Price is about $24k + VAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 That stinks. I would have LOVED an 09 Outback Diesel.

LosAngelesLGT Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 A turbodiesel would be hawt but diesel is unlikely. California approves very few diesel passenger cars and most cars in America are 50 state cars is my guess but I do not work in the automotive industry or know for certain.

BAC5.2 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 California approved the Jetta TDI and the BMW 335d, right?

LosAngelesLGT Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 ^Long after they existed in other places and as previous models. Those are the newest tech. Common rail and all that - I also never say never - just unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenMara Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 yea im really on the fence now, would love another subaru but VW is lookin like an option. love the mpg of a diesel and steady price per gal unlike gas.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I'm driving a 2010 Outback loaner right now. Not a fan. It's not the 3.6R, but overall the feel is rubbish compared to the 07-09 models. I'd get the TDI.

LosAngelesLGT Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 VW TDi only FWD no tkx, x2 Yeah, not the worst thing in So. Cal but we bought a Subaru to get AWD and move away from FWD. Just over FWD personally - it is great and economical for the masses but again, just not for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indytruckboy Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 fuel prices have to go back up to get the diesel, as told to me from someone from Subaru. gas=cheap=no reason for them to send the diesel, because people will buy gasoline motors if the price is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Diesel = cheaper.

BenMara Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 Its not the price of fuel that making me switch to diesel, its the MPG.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Right. Price per mile drops through the floor with a diesel. Diesels will stop being worth every penny, when the price of diesel is double that of gasoline. That won't ever happen, so, diesels will always be awesome.

joeblow Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Diesel is cheaper based on supply and demand. I can almost guarantee you that when diesel cars become more mainstream over here in the states, the price of diesel will increase. It's cool; I'm with the band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenMara Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Diesel is cheaper based on supply and demand. I can almost guarantee you that when diesel cars become more mainstream over here in the states, the price of diesel will increase. ^when that happens, everything transported by 18 wheelers, the shipping will go up. what about the diesel generators on trains. Alot more things run on diesel then one thinks. Diesel engines in ships/boats.. Generators at hospitals. ECT..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 The price won't raise that much because it's connected to the gasoline price since they are produced from the same source. A lot of gasoline is created by cracking the longer hydrocarbons in the crude oil, so what really happens is that the refineries have to adjust their processes to meet the demand.

indytruckboy Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 in so many words, from the Subaru person I spoke with; when gas is $4.00+ a gallon, then they will probably bring the diesel to USDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamarocket630 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 We have that over here. 6MT with 33/47 mpg city/highway. Price is about $24k + VAT. MPG wouldn't be that high if it came here. The same 2.0l 6MT Saab 9-3 that is rated 37MPG in Sweden is rated 31MPG here. That being said, i would still rock a turbo diesel subi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
