They don't make it in a Diesel here. They really should make more diesels in the states.

Fitzoid,
Forget hybrids for a while. The technology really isn't here yet. Battery technology is the major hold up. Diesel really is a lot better. Lok at the Volkswagen Jetta, in manual it gets around 55mpg and has more power then any hybrid. Modern diesels are a lot better then most people think and will soon become more popular with the change to low sulfer diesel here in the states in 2006 and the interest in Biodiesel.
