Honda builds an array of high MPG diesel-powered vehicles that are currently available in Europe, but not in the United States.

Rumour has it, the first fuel efficient Honda diesel engines are slated to arrive in America in the 2009 model year. We're having a tough time waiting ...

The buzz, as Honda says, started with their famed engineer, Kenichi Naghiro, who "hated dirty smelly, noisy diesels." Starting from a clean slate, Nagahiro designed a revolutionary quiet, smooth and clean diesel engine.The result is the stunning 2.2 liter i-CTDi.

The i-CTDi was designed to meet the United States stringent Tier II Bin 5 Emissions Requirements. It's clean, mean, and green.

While we can't get our hands on them at the moment, lets take a look at some of the cool diesel-powered Hondas that are currently being sold in England ...

• Honda Accord Tourer Diesel Wagon
• Honda Civic Diesel
• Honda CR-V Diesel
• Honda FR-V Diesel
