I know there is another diesel/hybrid thread on here, but this is a little different.
This is a thread to urge you to speak up.
There are alot of people I see here, and other places who would like to see a diesel option on an element and other Hondas.
So here is the kicker, Honda already makes a diesel CRV and Accord in Europe. Also, there were plans to bring the small diesel engine over to the states (starting with Acura TSX). Those plans are cancelled.
I work for Honda in Ohio and can tell you as customers, your feedback is important and WILL impact future models (how big the impact is, depends on the amount of F/B American Honda gets from its customers).
American Honda is the purchasing company that buys cars from the manufacturing companies (there are multiple companies).
In addition to purchasing cars and distributing to dealerships, they are also directly involved with Honda design and planning groups. They are the "voice of the customer" so to speak.
Having said that, If you feel strongly about diesel element and/or other hondas, I urge you to write to American Honda at American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

The more mail they get on this issue the more attention it will get when it comes time to plan ahead (sadly enough, doesn't guarantee anything).
But at least we know we asked for it.
