Wow even the Odysseys! Nice! maybe its time for me to get a minivan
On what other countries do they already sell diesel Hondas?, or does
Honda want to make the US as their "test" market.

The 2.2L diesel has been sold in the Accord, Civic and CR-V in
the UK since 2004 ?.

I think that the V6 diesel is an all new engine.

I read somewhere recently that Honda is building a new factory in
Poland to build 1,500,000 diesel engines per year.

Laws against diesels in several USA states prevent that.

I don't think that there are laws against diesels. The emissions standards
in some states are so stringent that diesels have difficulty meeting the
standards.

Quite different vehicles.
I would expect the Accord to perform better than the higher CR-V.
