Why _not_ use a diesel in the Prius?

The issue is acccccccceleration! It's simply a marketing issue.
Europeans already buy Diesels and the manufacturers are pissed that
they should build Diesel hybrids. Americans love zooooom. Hybrids are
not Otto cycle engines and Diesel cycle offers little gain!
Also, as I have posted frequently, PHEVs are supressed by Cobasys.
But, hang on a bit, the Japs are about to kick ass with lithium thanks
to nanotech. Transitional metals will soon be history.
F*** Chevron! Eat my voltage, Exxon!
