Mitsubishi has been selling turbocharged diesel SUVs in Europe and Asia for a long time. No definite news yet if they will be doing that in the US simply because we have a more stringent smog regulations. Besides, SUVs from Mitsubishi have not been sellers in the US. The Endeavor for instance was a disappointment. 80,000 was the projected sales but ended up only selling 32,000 units in its first year of sales. Subaru is planning to release their diesel driven Legacy. Unfortunately, this will not be soon since they are playing the wait and see game. Multiple car companies are soon coming out with their diesel engines and Subaru is waiting how these companies will do in the US that is.
