Volkswagen predicts U.S. diesel share could hit 30% by 2018 {Autoblog Green}
May 21st 2008 1:38PM I drove a Fiat 1.9 liter turbo diesel minivan for four years while living in Europe, and it was utterly reliable. Strong too, that little minivan could roll down the highway in Germany all day long at 100 mph/160 kph. And when I drove more sensibly, 75 mph, it got 30 mpg +. It was a BIG minivan, a real billboard from any direction, the Multipla. No thought at all given to wind resistance in design, only interior space. The things that went wrong with the car were probably about average in number, new alternator at 50k miles, etc. Nothing to do with the diesel.
I would leap to buy a good small Turbo Diesel car... great mileage, great reliability. And that little 1.9 made only 105 hp but it had tons of torque, I could shortshift all day and it pulled like a mule.

May 8th 2008 2:05PM As a golfer who uses electric carts regularly, I'm a big fan of a car that can cruise 40 miles at normal driving speeds. I'd buy one in a heartbeat. And the way I drive, I'd probably never even use that generator.
I'd have a second car, of course, for long drives, but it would get much less use. Gas demand would collapse if this kind of thing gets popular.
And guess what... that would reduce the price of gas.
GM has a genuine strategy to reduce the price of gas. And they can make a profit doing it.
Dann, why the heck aren't you proud to be an American? :-)
