I would love a VW Polo Blue Motion TDI - but VW keeps sayin maybe next year.
They are sticking to the bigger cars, and those are selling/doing fine. If they wanted to butt heads with Toyota or the Honda CRZ hybred all they need to do is fit electric motors on the rear alxe and use re-generative braking for much of the charging, The Electric motors could boost acceleration for passing or getting on the interstate. (Highway) The "slow poke" performance reputation of the smaller engined Polo's doesn't bother me. I have a 40mile each way commute - but its at off hours so I never have traffic to contend with. I'll pull over and let someone pass even in my Mustang GT when I don't feel like racing towards the E line. I would be in heaven with the Jag sedan with the 3L twin turbo diesel. See the TopGear mileage shootout episodes. But reality says that such a car would be a waist living down a stretch of dirt road. :( On the other hand - I'm searching for a Nissan UD or Isuzu NPR to buy to fetch LinuxCNC conversion candidates. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
