This is what boggles my mind as well, why so little, are we really that stupid to be buying up Hybrids like no tomorrow when you can get better mileage in a cleaner more eco-friendly clean diesel, and most of the time more powerful and stylish as well?:

"An enduring mystery to me is why Americans don't care. Diesel market penetration continues to bump along the bottom in the U.S., at just over 3% in 2013"

Give me a Touareg TDI, a Golf TDI, X5 35d, 328 or 535d any day.

My only problem with the Bimmer diesels is that you CANT GET A FRIGGIN 6MT! If you could, I just may get rid of my X for one...


But there is no mistaking that mileage, diesel mileage is always underrated by the EPA (wonder why? I blame tons of hybrid technology lobbyists in DC), so that 30 mpg combined figure is probably more like 32-33.

The 328d advertises 45 mpg. COMBINED. Amazing and I hope the diesel trend continues to rise.
