They have a new diesel that gets 62 MPG and has lower tailpipe emissions than the Prius. It also has the benefit of not having to recycle batteries. Naturally there's nothing regarding pricing or when we might see them in America.

I've always been an advocate of diesel cars ever since this whole "hybrid" trend. Better gas mileage, better performance, and usually, better looking. Really, is there a reason why the Prius is so damn ugly? :P

Aerodynamics, that's the main reason.
