I am reluctantly beginning to believe that the hybrid auto is just a marketing scam. Diesel powered vehicles are a better way to go. Notice that Europe is filled with diesels (including Honda diesels) while in the US gas engined vehicles are pushed. Just a thought from an interested observer.
I like diesel power, too. I wish that they were available with more different vehicles.
Who has diesel engines now in passenger cars?
Benz, VW - (Both Germans... interesting...)
any others?
