Although it won't come as a surprise to diesel fans (and there are some here!), the number of diesel models is just about doubling it would seem. Audi is getting close to offering a diesel engine in every model it offers. Audi’s Diesel Strategy: The 2014 A6 TDI, A7 TDI, and Q5 TDI
so what kind of mpg do they say. These cars need to get 50 to equal the fuel cost per mile of my camry hybrid because of the extra cost of diesel these days. I left diesel pickups because of the high cost of the fuel and the high cost of buying the diesel powertrain, and more expensive maintenance. Diesel was a good choice when it cost 10% less than regular gas! The pickup I have now is a gas thirsty V10 Ford crewcab 4x4. on the hwy towing I get 12-14 mpg. but you dont want to drive it in town much it can drop to 7 mpg. good thing the only thing it does it pull my fifth wheel. almost all hwy miles
It looks to me that If you want a hwy car that you can drive fast and still get exelent mpg the diesel car may be for you. To me it is very important to look at cost per mile not just mpg, but I understand not everyone feels that way. If you are not so intrested in mph as $per hr then I think the toyota hybrids are great!
The Audi 3.0 litre V6 diesel is quick, though too narrow on the power band for me. There is a place for diesel and it's in the Q5 or Q7 suv's. Don't dismiss it without test driving one.
What's your reasoning? Never had a complaint with a Japanese assembled vehicle. Plenty of other Toyota models assembled here. Toyota - Tundra, Sequoia and Camry: 80% parts made in the USA.
I simply want the money I spend on a new car to support workers in the US or our neighbors. It's why I discounted the c as an option recently.
