I'm surprised....putting aside the smug owners (you can't do anything about it), I think hybrids are the way forward.
Diesels (especially German ones) seem to miss the point for me. What always get's swept under the carpet, is the extra engineering which goes into a diesel (re-enforced engine and engine block, urea injection into the exhaust, etc) which negates the extra "effort" which goes into a hybrid.
Not to mention the emissions are better on a hybrid (i.e less unburnt hydrocarbons, less, NOx and less carbon monoxide).
But, that's what I think. Personally, I hope someone mates a hybrid powertrain with a diesel powertrain. THAT'S when we'll see some better results! :O)
