Engineers Drive Honda

This is mostly a story about Honda's CEO Takeo Fukui who started as an engineer. The article also mentions Honda's upcoming US release of clean diesels.

An interesting note about the Honda diesels is Kenichi Nagahiro who invented the VTEC engine only agreed to diesel when he was allowed to start from scratch.
