Indeed the most twisted comment I've read on the internet. US & Jap companies all make guzzling V8 SUVs and trucks, the Germans do not. The only expection being the low volume tourag/Q7 et al.

If you replaced all the Jap/US V8 SUV's and trucks with TDI tourags/Q7's etc America would simply consume almost 1/2 the oil it did the day before. How's that for lowering the US's addiction for oil?

Oh, and by the way, the Diesel hybrids are coming which means they will kick the a$$ off the gas hybrids on the freeways in terms of mpg, and still have boatloads more torque.

What ever twisted way you spin it, diesel engines get better mpg than gas engines. Fact. You have to twin the Hybrid/gas' = diesels, and wait until the diesel hybrids come out. Game over.
