point noted but of course light years are a measure of distance and not time though.

Its amazing to me how people love to ignore EPA ratings and come up with their own ratings. It should be a mix of both.

You don't see me going around saying "my hybrid gets 33 MPG" b/c on that one trip for whatever reason, that one time, it did. That is not normal.

The BMW 335d is amazing. Shame it costs 55k Using the same "hate hybrid" math diesel lovers use, it would take aproximately 3,457 light years to make your money back on it.
If all things were equal, which they are not.

Performance
Torque
Luxury.

Apples and oranges. There isn't a car on that list that even compares to the 335d, hence the cost.
