[quote=mauleskyrocket]I hope I do not anger because it is not my purpose. Here are facts :
4) A VW TDI is definitely better if you want good mileage with normal driving.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let me tell you why TDI is better :
1) PAH fine particles from Diesel - several independed researches and studies proven it causes cancer.
2) 40% cancer from city related air traffic environment will come from Diesel (cars and factory) (from 2003-next 10 years)
3) Pah particles are almost similar to those of asbestos, after you inhale critical amount of the same, it is only question of time when your lung will develop pathology.
Many earth friendly organizations and as well as independed ones are making effort to warn people of Diesel "power", that is deliberately kept quiet for $$$ reasons.
So yes, your Diesel is "fantastic" choice.
If you have no relatives, friends, family and fell no responsibility as unique individual whose decisions reflect value for this planet no matter how it might feel small, then yes go to your Diesel, save what you only borrow now to keep for future generations : HOME = EARTH
Why not buy SUV & Diesel that is exquisite choice from HELL !
After all, one war or two, who cares, right?
As long we can all drive "big" cars.
