I'd slather my nuts in honey and wrassle a bear on live TV for something like that.

You let the drama kid die, the drama kid die
Seriously, I just learned the TSX commercial was saying "Let the drummer kick that"

that was always a justifiable expense in my mind... much better mileage....

I'm frankly a bit shocked they're bringing it to Acura first. Doesn't make much business sense to introduce a new, frugal tech in the Lux brand.

According to recent polls, about 95% of all buyers want an autotragic transmission.

One of the important things to remember about statistics, is that they are only valid if the population measured, is representative of the larger population which you would like to make generalizations about.
In this case, they appear to be fairly distinct.

Is this a case of superior German engineering or the Japanese just not seeing this as a profitable venture in the US?

Note that what made the Honda/Acura Diesel unique was that it was supposed to be 50-state compliant on emissions WITHOUT using Urea-injection, as do pretty much all other engines that meet these new standards. So Honda could add urea injection and sell the diesel here, but the whole point of this powertrain was that it could be so clean without needing exhaust addititives.
