Diesels Better for Society Than Hybrids, Study Finds | Autopia from Wired.com

Diesels Better for Society Than Hybrids, Study Finds | Autopia from Wired.com

Diesels get a rough ride in North America although they are very popular in Europe (where hybrids have not done as well). There is a good case for saying that hybrids are a great technology with room for improvement and they certainly perform well for urban taxi's. But North Americans should look more closely at diesels as Mercedes and VW bring a wider range of models to the market. Honda has developed an advanced diesel system in Europe that would also be popular over here.
