God I want a diesel wagon with AWD. Getting 50 mpg in a subaru would be amazing. WHen is the US supposed to start getting these? 2010?

This is the only vehicle that could pry me out of my Outback wagon. Having an Outback with a diesel would be awesome!

It's likely that the 50mpg cited in the release uses imperial gallons; therefore, the US gallon conversion would result in a 41.7 mpg figure.

Yup, 2010. The Fuji Heavy Industries honchos are waiting to see if diesels from VW and other manufacturers do well in the US market before they decide to develop it for our consumption. I'd love one as a daily driver so I could park my 2.5RS.
50mpg? Yes please.

Besides using Imperial gallons (1.2 US gallons per), the UK mileage test is different from the US treadmill test.
Vehicles that are sold largely unchanged in both countries typically score 15-25% higher on the UK test than the US test after making the unit conversion.
"Almost 50 mpg combined" would be 31-32 mpg combined on the sticker here.
