"And even the very best diesels still sound like, well, diesels."
Cough... Cough...
Diesel sounding like diesel... Hmm.... That is valid for American Agricultural Vibrator (aka Ford), Deutche Panzer (aka VW) and Francais Transport D'œufs (aka PSV) diseasel. Not for a properly engineered diesel. Try a _PROPER_ modern diesel - something like the Honda FRV or Accord CRDi or if worst comes to worst even some of the recent Nissans.
As far as the car is concerned - no stick == no thanks, no buy. So far the only next gen hybrid worth driving has been the new Honda CRZ (which should have been called Insight if not for Honda marketing having too much whalesong)
