#30 Smoking all lesser cars (with real smoke).

Thats my fave thing about the CRD. My favorite target- hummers and diesel pickups. The former out of spite- the latter out of revenge.

And to continue the BSG conversation all I have to say is: In my house Starbuck is a chick!

Another reason should be that the CRD was also an attempt to educate SUV owners that "torque" is what you drive on.
The SUV market has been flooding with high horsepower engines. In the U.S., " You buy horsepower, but drive torque"


Which is the reason that a 160 hp CRD can easily jump ahead of a 260 hp Acura MDX at a stoplight. MDX has 245 lb/ft of torque to the CRD's 295 lb-ft and weighs about 300 pounds more.
