Next-Gen EVO to be Diesel Hybrid?!?

http://www.leftlanenews.com/next-mitsubishi-evolution-to-go-diesel-hybrid.html

Though I am not sure I will ever purchase a Mitsubishi, I am excited that diesel may be (slowly) becoming mainstream. I think this could be a potentially potent car, but also as the potential to be obnoxiously expensive. Not to mention possibly a reliability nightmare?

I am still saving my pennies for a BMW 335d. :wiggle:

 

Diesel will never make it big over here like it is overseas as long as the gov't doesn't mandate it.

I find it absurd that diesel costs more than 93 octane gasoline....it's a freaking by-product of gasoline itself.

 

Let the gas prices soar north of $6 a gallon and I bet diesels will be just as popular in the US as they are in other Countries.

 

Indeed......with the crap going on in the Gulf it just may happen soon hnoes:

 

funny thing is with the gulf problems, the gas prices have actually gone down SIGNIFICANTLY around here. I saw $1.99 a gallon the other day

 

Yeah it has dropped here too.

 

This is from fears of our economy tanking again.

 

head fake. wait till november....
