Should these sorts of cars have a diesel option or is it just the wrong engine for the job?
Your call!

putting aside likes and dislikes we all have. sti diesel is more likely to happen than an evo diesel i reckon.


.......
There's got to be a hundred reasons why i should listen to diesel owners, but right now, i can't think of any.

The Evo will have 201 bhp and 304 lbs-ft as standard, not exactly slow!
(250/375 after a re-map).

have you got the report that came from?
honda are refusing to join the sports diesel club with their Type R range until they can get a diesel to rev higher than 6krpm. maybe if they succeed they will come up with NA diesel engines with some power.

Diesels are superior to petrols in some ways.
But, since you have never owned a top-end derv, you wouldn't know.

disease has its uses in human evolution, much like diesel does. i do respect top-end diseases, in the sense wouldnt be like to be seen dead in one.

speaking of which diesel can be linked to heart disease, deep vein thrombosis. a recent report found that the particulates enter the blood stream and effect the red blood cells, causing clots/thrombosis, this can then find its way to the heart. and death.
which brings me back to evolution ( and Evos aha! ) soon the dieselheads will have killed us all. look to the petrol only consumer countries for the next superpower. could be Japan. but they have just began using it sadly, it was banned as a fuel.

It's always surprised me that Subaru don't offer more diesels, given their popularity with the farming set.

Ask the makers, Oli.
The demand is there for decent running costs with acceptably swift performance, i guess.
