What you've been told about cars is wrong...
This is yet more evidence that Hybrids, as the technology stands today, are a waste of money. They are overly complicated, failure prone, even dangerous, and don't live up to their fuel economy claims.
The AutoWeek reviewers basically rate the diesel Jetta tops in every way.
Notice their ravings on the Corvette too. Performance and economy aren't exclusive. Imagine if the Corvette had displacement on demand like the new Tahoe (which has nearly the same aerodynamic coefficient as the Vette). I bet the Vette could beat 35 MPG.
Now go read this article by Gale Banks, one of the most respected and knowledgeable men in the automotive industry.
Go on, read the article, I'll wait......
Ok, now, expand your closed, automotive industry marketing brainwashed, little mind and imagine a twin turbo diesel powered Corvette. 500+ horsepower, 50+ MPG
and cleaner emissions than a gasoline powered model. Throw in BioDiesel and now you can kick tail-dragger butt while patrioticly reducing our foreign oil dependence and increasing fuel economy.
[sidebar: Buzz Bradley in British Columbia, Canada couldn't wait, he built a very low tech, non-turbo, mechanical injection diesel Corvette that is still fun to drive, and get's 50+ MPG, there's no reason GM can't make a high-tech version that has more power (think Banks power) and better mileage]
Start demanding that your government representatives promote, and fund diesel engine and BioDiesel fuel research and production. Start asking your car dealers for diesel vehicles.
Come on people, fight the war on OPEC. Go diesel, and drag the government and the car companies kicking and screaming with you.
