While we await stories and updates, I can tell you of something else to await.

That's the 2009 VW Jetta TDI with blutec engine technology. The Smart is a disappointment. My 1995 Acura Integra gets better mileage, while still having room for two people, three guitars, and an amplifier.

VW, though, if they ever deliver, are promising 45mpg city and 57 highway. That bests most of the hybrids on the highway, where most people drive, and for about half the initial cost.

Diesel costs more than gas, but the Jetta should be priced around 18K, and diesels last about forever with minimal maintenance.

One of these days, the trucking industry is going to switch to #2 heating oil no matter what the gov't does, and stop paying the $1/gal penalty for the food coloring that differentiates the two. At that point, diesel will cost less than gas, as tradition dictates, and the TDI will be the car of choice for all new stories on the Internet.

Excepting those by Lugnutz and Driver, of course.
