I doubt I'd buy a diesel. I think the next gas engine could put out near 300hp and 400 torque and thats probably way more than Id ever need. I dont currently do any towing, but you never know. If it got 40% better mpg than a gas, then Id consider it, but I dont think it would be that much better. A hybrid would work for me too. A diesel Jetta drove by me in the parking lot today. It wasnt smelly, but it wasnt that quiet. I knew as soon as it rolled up that it was diesel, and sure enough it had TDI on the trunk.
