Is Honda going to import their awesome new Accord turbo diesel

And, 0 to 60 mph of 9.4 secs.

That model is sold as Acura TL (I think) in the USA. The US Accords have
different styling. Wonder if Acura will sell a TDi. Lets see...

You'll never see it in the US.

Regulations have been proposed by the EPA to cut diesel emissions by
90% by 2012. This is the same percentage reduction required by the 1970
Clean Air Act for gasoline engines in the US.

I would not expect a new manufacturer to enter the US diesel market now.

Volkswagen started selling a Passatt TDI this year. Diesels have come a
long way. Honda usually tests the water at home in Japan and in more
market friendly places where a Turbo deisels are established. Expect it
in the US market in the next couple of years if the Passatt TDI sells well.

The article does explicity say it's only for the European market.

That should be "explicitly".

Americans aren't generally fond of diesels. Diesel fuel (especially
the good stuff) is not always easy to find and despite the advances,
these cars still run dirty. I met a couple - a friend of a friend
deal - and the guy was a fanatic for the VW TDI Beetles (they had his
and hers copies.) He showed me the pictures of how he tears down the
intake/exhaust system every 30-40K to clean the soot out. You
wouldn't believe the pile of carboniferous crap that he removed in
this 8 hour project. Not surprisingly, performance suffers a lot by
the time you have to clean it out.

Cleaner fuel is mandated too. Once that happens it's just a matter of
sticking on a catalytic converter. Diesels normally run lean so there's
no delicate air/fuel ratio to maintain.

Here's a good link on industrial diesel catalytic converters:
