VW DIESEL-HYBRID KnOcK!........
I have heard they will put that same engine in their new Mid Sized SUV due out in the summer.
Listen, the only people who don't know about diesel hybrids are the dweebs, Affirmative Action Appointee bureaucraps, and the American Auto Industry.
Among the present recumbent's manifold failings is that he has failed to reform EPAs so that various states feel free to ban diesel automobiles for consumers ... even if they are hybrids.
Chaps my hide, the whole world is going to small clean diesels, 'ceptin' us. What gives? Natural idea: small diesel/electric powerplants in smallish, but decent-sized cars like that VW TDI. 60mpg,Comfort. Speed. DVD Player. A/C. No problem.
Come on Detroit, offer me something right now that a pizza guy I met in Naples already has, a nice shiny diesel/electric.
