Any news on the Subaru diesel engine?

[TheSeeker]

Hi,

I was really intrigued by Subaru's announcement of the development of
a diesel boxer engine, and IIRC, I thought that a date of 2008 had
been bandied about.

Was this date perhaps not a model-year date, but a calendar date? I
say this because I have heard little since its initial announcement.

Has anyone heard of when cars will hit the streets with a diesel
engine powering them? Is the introduction of the CVT tied to this?

Thanks,
Duane

I was thinking 09 was what I read. But 08 Europe, 09 US might also be in
the rumor mill.
