    1.4 liter with direct injection (including 25:1 lean burn). Married to a 7-gear Direct shift gearing (no buzzy CVT). And turbo

    There's the Volvo V60 turbo-diesel plug-in hybrid too. Do they sell that in America?

    At first, I thought the headline was wrong, thinking the Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid has a turbo... but I guess it is right, for the US.

    The Pathfinder Hybrid has a supercharged ICE, not turbocharged.

    And, there's a been a long-standing rumor that the Altima Hybrid will be resurrected also w/a supercharged ICE, instead of the previous Hybrid Synergy Drive-based NAH.

    Ah. The diesel sounds like pretty much my perfect car.

    Based on sales, that seems to be true for many.

    I disagree with this review saying the Prius interior looks cheap (plastic). I think the interior looks nice & clean.
