Benny, what is screwed up, is that these idiots in the EPA have made it very undesirable to bring diesel cars onto the market. There are so many really excellent diesels that will run circles around these useless hybrids, and because of the regulations, it's not worth it to bring these cars in with diesels (the Euro-spec Passat TDI High Output is an excellent example). But I can go out and spend my hard earned money on a BUTT-UGLY Prius, Insight or a hybrid SUV all day long. And what are we going to do with all of these batteries that will have to be discarded after a few years. Yeah, that'll really be a boon for the ecology!
