I just saw the TDI vs. Prius ad. I'm sorry VW, if I want a diesel I don't want a "cutesy" like the Jetta(although I like the MKIVs myself). THIS is what a diesel should be:

nthach, I don't understand what your saying? Is this another "In America" sideline? 53% of cars over the Atlantic are sold with DIESEL powertrains - For good reason. What does some F350 say?

lol,

I saw ANOTHER VW ad taking a shot at the Prius. Its getting sad They quote some hypermiling couple getting 58MPG, good spin.

The new Prius has legions of people lining up to buy it. Doesn't matter what VW says.

I don't see the ads convincing anyone but loyal VW owners to go buy a Jetta over a Prius.

It sounds like this is starting to really get under the skin of some! They are both good cars, serve very different priorities. One is more of a drivers car, the other is more relaxed, has more tech..
