MazdamusPrime: i would like the lgacy deisel to cross the pond but i hear it's noisy and clunky but i don't know if that s true.

bajabusta: i would rather have the jetta diesel over any prius/insight.

moaski: I have a few problems with this commentary: 1. How is it that the diesel 3-Series gets 5 mpg better than its 335i gas-counterpart and has "no payoff" whereas the X5d also gets 5 mpg better than a typical gas X5, yet yields a definitive payoff? 2. Where can you buy a diesel Jetta in the "low $20k range?" Not by me! 3. "Most diesels are installed in high-priced luxury vehicles." NOT TRUE! In the US market yes, but around the rest of the world cheap diesels are most abundant.
