diesel way better than a hybrid. porsche said years ago we will never see diesels in their lineup, yet, now they have.

toyota's hybrid is nice piece of design and everything but i don't believe much in a hybrid due to complexity, weight, and costs. it's luxury.

On the contrary, diesel is a dead end. Diesels are way LESS efficient than gasoline hybrids, more polluting than gas cars, maintenance costs are much more higher than gas cars and diesel fuel is more expensive than gas.


This is flat out wrong as well. Toyota HSD is LESS complex mechanically than a comparable diesel, much more reliable and weight less. Moreover an equally equipped diesel costs about the same or more than a hybrid.
