If they ever did, the cost of parts and equipment to build something like that would outweigh the savings you would get from the diesel. I think for the most part your stuck with North American and European cars for diesel+awd setups. The AWD may also kill any benefits you get from a diesel.

Best option IMO is a small truck that runs diesel, I know that there are available propane kits as well for trucks.

I am assuming you want this to be a daily driver?

Edit:
lol wagovan

As for Diesel Civics, I think they're only available in Europe, India, China, etc. Don't recall ever seeing a Diesel Civic in north america.

I really dont want a diesel car,

just got me confused when it says diesel and AWD, so i wanted to make sure these things dont exist (at least here) before i call the guy an idiot

I'll probably just go see the car to confirm.

Honda's never made a diesel engine available in anything in North America IIRC. Plus I'm pretty sure they've never made an AWD Civic in NA either, so both would be even more of a stretch.

Link to ad?

Yeah, and somebody swapping something into a civic is just absurd.

I believe some 84-87 Civic wagons also had AWD... but it was incredibly rare.
Diesel Civic's only exist in Europe... but they are sweet!

There were also AWD Civic Ferios from 92-95 and AWD Integras (Dxi)

Far as I know Honda's never had a diesel in the Civic until the newer (2001+) ones started to come out.

talked to the guy, he's an idiot. foreign and doesnt know what he posted .

final verdict, "what do you put in your car when you fill up??", he says "87 octane gas", "thank you"

i think in his language diesel just means fuel
