TDI's and other advanced diesels are awesome. As cool as the elec car could be (a bit biased here obviously) its rediculous we don't have good small diesels here. The few you can get are overpriced VWs (fvcl< VWs btw.)

Really, until battery tech comes along, I don't understand why there are not more small cars w/ diesels. Plus they last forever. I would get one of those way before a hybrid (which just seems too complicated to be reliable long term, esp if it has NIMH batts.)
