    Wow...Honda just launched its Hybrid and the thing gets worse mileage?!! (4.8 l/100km)
    Instead of turning the automobile into a glorified golf-cart, support these 'green' technologies over hyrbids. We don't need 'zip cars' we need more efficient technologies!

    Long live the combustion engine!!

    I won't care about this car until Audi offers it in the United States with this turbodiesel engine.

    Please anonymous, dont compare a diesel to Honda's Hybrid. Audi's are great, but one doesn't smell bad... (and it's not the Honda)

    You can get a VW Jetta with a 2.0T diesel and a DSG for less money and virtually the same technology and U.S. mileage figures. It'll smoke this Audi from 0 to 60. (Pun intended) You just won't impress your friends at the country club.

    To Anon. #4. New diesels don't smoke and don't smell bad. I wish that jacked up Dodge Ram would let me pass! Cough, cough. Well, some diesels.

    Remember to snap this Audi up for its floaty steering, crashy ride and offset pedals for RHD cars!

    Her new diesel has monster-like 61mpg(roughly as economical as the Toyota Prius) as well as 220-230km/h Autobahnen cruising ability. She's one of the best trans-Europe express!
