I wonder if the choices/preferences posted here will change once you guys get the full range of Euro/Japanese diesels. Will the modern torquey oil-burners sway you away from your current picks, I wonder ? M-B, VW/Audi, BMW, Volvo etc have some excellent diesels. My favourite is possibly the Audi 4.2 V8 TDi as fitted to the Q7 SUV - 322bhp and 561lbft according the mag I'm looking at. Or you could have the VW 5.0 V10 from the Touareg  309bhp/554lbft but I'd still go for the 4.2. Would be interested in your views. |

Replying to: shipo (Mar 14, 2008 8:49 am) I'm at about 300/week but my wife is a SAH mom but surprisingly she drives 200/week jockeying kids all day. Regards, OW |

Replying to: circlew (Mar 14, 2008 12:20 pm) $2100 a year for diesel and $2700 for premium. The diesel may cost more upfront but for me the idea of stopping less often is also really attractive. As prices go up, the savings will increase too. So if I'm looking at $5 a gallon in 2010 (seems reasonable to assume), my savings increase by hundreds.

Replying to: circlew (Mar 14, 2008 12:20 pm) Regarding the 335d, if rumors are to be believed, the 335d is only coming over here with an automatic transmisson. As you know, I am a manual transmission bigot, so no dice on the first incarnation of a 3-Series diesel over here.  Best Regards, Shipo |

Replying to: shipo (Mar 14, 2008 8:49 am) If I put 800 miles/week, I will be worry more about the depreciation than the gas. 800 miles/week x 52 weeks = 41600 miles/year = a lot of depreciation. I rather buy a small/sport economy car (~18K) instead of a luxury car.
