We must wait two or three years for this innovative diesel to be sold in the U.S., at which point it will have an automatic transmission. By then, the American appetite for oil burners might be sufficiently whetted to embrace Subaru's entries

One day...

Yeah I should have clarified before getting your hopes up.

After failing to locate a Nissan dealer for the GT-R, I tried to find a Subaru shop so that I could snap pics of the engine bay for this thing. No luck though.

I just hope it can run on biodiesel...

And an update:

Subaru may sell diesel WRX in UK, oil burners for U.S. likely

from Autoblog by Damon Lavrinc

Click above for a high-res gallery of the Subaru Impreza WRX.

We reported last month that a senior exec over at Subaru was "looking into" the possibility of offering a diesel variant of the WRX. Today, Autocar is reporting a similar story, and as the saying goes, where there's smoke... there must be a diesel.

Subaru has already unveiled the oil-burning version of its Legacy over in the UK, and Forester and Impreza versions are likely to hit sometime later this year in the same market. But Autocar's Subie sources are saying that a high-output version is being developed that should make around 200 hp and some pretty prodigious torque.

Thankfully, Subaru is also working on modifying the 2.0L diesel boxer mill so it can be sold here in the States, and some version is expected to hit our shores sometime in the next two or three years. Thanks for the tip, Steve!

That's gonna be a beast! The only thing better than a turbo diesel is a twin turbo diesel
