Forester 2.0D and Impreza 2.0D Unveiled

Fuji Heavy Industries, parent company of Subaru of America, Inc., plans to display its new Forester and Impreza models equipped with the SUBARU BOXER® DIESEL engine this week at the 2008 Paris Motor Show.

SUBARU BOXER DIESEL
The Subaru Boxer Diesel delivers excellent acceleration response, enabling sporty driving while offering outstanding fuel economy with reduced emissions.
The Subaru Boxer Diesel has garnered enthusiastic accolades since it became available in both the Legacy and Outback for the European market in the spring of 2008. Now mounted on the Forester and Impreza, the new and improved Boxer Diesel has adopted the closed-type DPF (diesel particulate filter), and comes with a newly developed six-speed manual transmission, further improving the vehicles' fuel economy and emission control.

The Forester 2.0D and Impreza 2.0D models will be on sale in Europe after this autumn.

The UK has had the diesel at least for a few months now. I picked up a brochure on it from a dealer in England back in June.

I think it's great, I'm pretty excited to see if it makes it here, and how it does!

There's a NASIOC thread or two in News & Rumors, but here's an Edmunds article on the 6MT (!!) that diesels are getting, overseas...
