Our auto industry needs to move on from this hybrid thing, its to flawed and not befiting customers enough.
What we need to do is think of a clean deisal and use that, I think it would be muuuch better.
Or a hydro-engine. But thats waaay down the road.

We have clean diesel now and 2009 maybe the year of the diesel if the diesel prices come down.
Land Rover should bring a Disco 3 in with a 2.7L V6 diesel.(2010).
Ford is looking at a F-150 with a 4.4L V8 diesel.(2009)
Mercedes will bring in more models with their CDI diesel(2009).
VW has 50 state ready Diesel .
If the price of diesel stays high we may not see the diesels.

Really? I wanst aware that the U.S. meet the clean diesel standards and blah blah, but i'll take your word for it. I think the government should lower diesel prices and fun a development program for mroe diesels, just as they did for hybrids. I feel that there is going to be a new generation of cars coming and they wont be hybrids... We will have to wait and see, i think it will be quite interesting to watch.

America-bigger is better.
The rest of the world-do more with less.
Why do soccer moms need the Dodge Ram Quad Cab 4x4 with the Cummin's Turbo Diesel? Be cause it helps her self esteem. Makes me sick, I have a utility trailer, if I need to haul something bigger than what will fit in my Rover, I use the trailer, just as good as a pick-up only better MPG and cheaper on insurance.
Everybody says that Rovers are underpowered, does everything I need it to. I can pass on a two-lane, merge with traffic on the expressway, and beat a city bus from a red light.
I dont need to go 90 mph on the expressway.
I just need a smooth, comfortable, saferide for my family and I, 18 mpg on the highway, beable to go ANYWHEREI want and to get me from point "A" to point "B" and back again, and my Disco does all of that and more.
Gas is to expsensive, we are getting raped by the oil companies and they are in bed with the government so nothing will change.
I love my country but man do I hate my government.
America, land of the free as long as you can afford it. (I should'nt have said that, now they are going to read my e-mails and tap my phone line and cease my bank account, oh wait, my bank account is empty because I just bought a tank of gas, for my Camry)

I had a book mark to a web site that had islands for sale. You could buy a island in the Carriebean for under 250k, not to bad for what you get. But I deleted it by accident and now I cant find the site.
You want to see a Disco in water, you need to watch my youtube video.

There where no performance diesels because of no ULSD.
So I had to get all my go faster parts from Gremany.
If you want to see a Bad [sm=smiley35.gif]VW diesel look at Touareg TDI V10 5.0L with 350hp and 600 fbtq.

RE: tire prices
FYI, we have no diesel Discoverieseither in Canada, and gas up here is now the equivalent of $5.20 USa gallon for premium. Appartently it will go up to $6.00 U.Sa gallon by july !!!!!
So if anyone wanna shoot me the ' if you wanted better m.p.g you should have gotten a Civic' crap, you can eat my shorts[8D]
What kills me, is that thisoil rape is one of the reasons for the recession that is hitting the U.S and threatens to reach us up here. The price of everything has gone up because of oil prices, and it will get worse.
I'm starting to wonder if the Irak invasion wasn't about the fact that Saddam didn't want to take part in the oil rape ?? and by taking that country over, Bush could assure that that oil wasn't gonna sell cheap, thus keeping the prices down. This whole line of thought could very well be absurd, but if they were able to make you guys believe that 9/11 was really an attack from terrorist and that they had absolutely nothing to do with this....... I don't know[&:]

F-150 I had hear no....I called asking about it,,They also said the were going to put diesel in the expeditions....and now no...
MB....Yes they have them, ck out the tic on them for the diff in price diesel vs.gas I can use the diff in the up charge in gas for a few years dosent pay....
And VW the only ones that have had diesel in the us for year......But they have rasied the price of a tdi so much its almost not worth it unless your a on the road sales men/women.....
I'm sure theres no up charge for diesels over seas,just the us.....
They make it seem so hard to have diesels in vech in the usbut other countries have had just about every model we do but in diesels for years.....and it aint hard to make the emissions work for US standards...
Diesel high think about why its high ....hummmm......Because they want us to still depend on gas....It works for them.....
