Subaru to join the diesel crowd?

Edmund’s Inside Line has got the scoop on some interesting developments over at Subaru. The Fuji Heavy Industries concern is reportedly working on a diesel version of its”boxer” four-cylinder engine for the European market. The first 2007 models to receive the oil burner, possibly a 2.2L turbocharged engine, will presumably be the Legacy and the Forester, with other models possibly to follow. The move is necessary  for Subaru to be even a small player in the European market. Having said that, we can think of more than a few Americans who’d consider unhinging their checkbooks in celebration as well.
