NY Times article on Honda's 50 state legal diesel:

Nice -- now there's not really much of a reason to get a VW TDI. I'd much rather have Honda reliability.

And: 1995 Grand Cherokee 4.0 Laredo, Silver, Selec-Trac, custom free-flow exhaust by local shop.

Me: 1998 Subaru Outback AWD, 2.5 DOHC, 5-speed manual. Nearly 170k miles & runs awesome.

Im pretty sure the VW will outperform the Honda in all aspects. Honda diesels have been around for a while in europe, and they're not really popular.

Who says Honda is more reliable? The Germans have way more experience with diesel.
