Re: diesel hybrid
But even PSA's HDI diesels will defeat most hybrids in real-world fuel consumption and I sure wish they were available here.
I'll be in Europe in September, driving a Peugeot 207 CC (Coupé/Cabriolet).

Re: diesel hybrid
Hi !
I'm not sure there are in financial trouble! because they send a lot of cars, but only small cars. They tell us they are in financial trouble but it's because they don't send their big cars. Every sellers I met (Toyota, Peugeot, Renault, etc.) told me the same : we don't sale big cars but a lot of small ones.
So they have money ! Renault try to developp with Nissan electric cars for 2010, but only available in Paris, and it concerns only 100 electric cars... (Kangoo Bebop).... Let's see what they'll do. PSA had tried electric cars in 90's...

Re: diesel hybrid
I would also prefer diesel car because only diesel can give me good fuel efficiency and diesel engines last longer, and fetch higher resale values. Diesel engine can be run on biofuel. But, the only drawback is it's too costly in USA and that vehicles usually more expensive.

Re: diesel hybrid
Diesel hybrids are now a reality, at least in Europe. Later this year MB will begin selling the E300 Bluetec hybrid with 204hp, 56mpg & 368 lb/ft torque (!).
My Golf diesel post never came true: something about EPA NOx standards which is why the E300 won't be coming to the US either.

Re: diesel hybrid
Yes eco.conduite.free.fr , Peugeot and Citroën have finished developing Diesel hybrid cars but doesn’t stop using C4 coupe. C4 coupe is favorite coupe car and still I like to use.
