Europe to get next-gen Mitsubishi diesel in 2009

The increasing popularity of diesel powered cars in Europe has spurred Mitsubishi to bring forward the market introduction of its next-generation diesel engine. The new 2.0L diesel engine will be launched in Europe in early 2009, most likely to be offered in its new Lancer range. The motor is currently being developed with the aid of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and is scheduled to enter production at Mitsu’s Kyoto Powertrain Plant one year earlier than planned.

The new diesel engine is a key element in Mitsubishi’s efforts to lower CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions, and it’s claimed to meet the latest Euro 5 standards as well as offer class-leading performance. This efficiency is brought about thanks to the addition of a turbocharger and high-efficiency combustion characteristics, stemming from technology developed in the partnership between the carmaker and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Following its release in Europe, Mitsubishi will then launch the oil-burner in other markets including the US.

For some reason they're the only Mitsubishis I see around here - while the only worthwhile Mitsubishi still built is the Lancer/Evo. And, of course, this.I must get one. It needs railroad-tie bumpers and mud-flap delete. And it needs to be in my driveway.
