No to start a ROW, but...........
 
One of the cars:
 
polluted far more during the test,
costs WAY more than the other car,
has a manual tranny, known for superior fuel efficiency versus and auto tranny,
and would be way more expensive to fillup in the USA than the other car.
 
Interesting test results, however. I think everyone knows diesels are preferable as a touring highway car by now though.
 
Anyone who is surprised by the result is not "in the know" about modern cars.
 
That's why I'm patiently waiting on a diesel hybrid sedan. Best of both worlds.
 
P.S. I'd like my chances in my 2004 Civic Hybrid with manual tranny versus the BMW. I had one "highway tank" which was 56.4 MPG.

I think the writer's biggest disappointment was getting stuck driving the Prius while the other guy got the BMW.
 
The price difference is not as much as you think. The Prius goes for 21,000 GBP and the BMW for 27,000 GBP. The BMW is a car to enjoy your driving experience. The Prius gets you a free drive into London. Not that I have any desire to drive in London.

According to this site, the Porsche Panamera will be the fastest hybrid when they will introduce in 2009. It looks like hybrid cars are catching up in terms of speed. Also, anyone knows how fast the new Tesla WhiteStar will be?

Are you in the USA? Welcome to the Forum. What is not to like about a car like that? LPG is fairly easy to find. Those conversions were real popular in the 1980s. The engines run very clean on LPG. You lose trunk space in a car with the tanks. Keep us posted if you buy one.
