It's time for more automakers to offer diesels state-side! Mmmmm, Toureg 5.0 V10 TDI........300+ hp, 550+ tq, 28+ mpg

Oh those Toregs are sweet!

It's great to see a gas mileage test done in the real world. Often times you hear about cars on a race track by them selves and doing the ol gas-and-coast method. Obviously going nonstop until they run out of gas.

That's not a bad looking little car for what it is either.

I think Char went from PHX to Moab on a single tank in her TDI Golf.

Haven't we become the little VW buff? huh?

I admired their technology long before I bought the GTI.

How about Motor Trend's car of the year? Another hybrid.

VW's new Turbo deisel technology makes the gasoline engine obsoluete, plain and simple.

Add that to a hybrid and the sky's the limit.

There is also a new plastic out that is made entirely from corn, it is biodegradable and can do everything conventional plastic can do. However do you think the petroleum companies are just going to sit back and watch their product become obsolete? Nope.

VW's kick ass.
