And the Green Car of the Year is… A Diesel. Again!
December 3rd, 2009 admin
Audi of America President Joahn DeNysschen accepting the Green Car of the Year Award for the Audi A3 TDI At last year’s LA Auto Show, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI rather surprisingly beat out many non-diesel contenders to win the title of 2009 Green Car of the Year . And, if I were a betting man, I would have never guessed that the Green Car Journal would choose another diesel to win the 2010 title. But they have. The Audi A3 TDI was just named the 2010 Green Car of the Year. Read more

The Official Be Stupid Philosophy...www.diesel.com http Like balloons, we are filled with hopes and dreams But. Over time a single sentence creeps into our lives Dont be stupid. Its the crusher of possibility. Its the worlds greatest deflator. The world is full of smart people. Doing all kind of smart things... Thats smart. Well, were with stupid. Stupid is the relentless pursuit of a regret free life. Smart may have the brains... but stupid has the balls. The smart might recognize things for how they are. The stupid see things for how they could be. Smart critiques. Stupid creates. The fact is if we didnt have stupid thoughts wed have no interesting thoughts at all Smart may have the plans... but stupid has the stories. Smart may have the authority but stupid has one hell of a hangover Its not smart to take risks... Its stupid. To be stupid is to be brave The stupid isnt afraid to fail. The stupid know there are worse things than failure... like not even trying. Smart had one good idea, and that idea was stupid. You cant outsmart stupid. So dont even try. Remember only stupid can be truly brilliant So, BE STUPID Soundtrack: Honeytrap by We Have Band.
Fast Diesel? VW Touareg TDI @ the T...MORE VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG @ INSIDELINE.COM: blogs.edmunds.com Diesels are finally here, sort of. Now that we have the low-sulfur fuel, manufacturers have responded with vehicles that even the great state of California will allow on its hallowed highways. Trouble is, these vehicles aren't exactly cheap. Case in point: the 2009 Volkswagen Touareg V6 TDI. It starts at nearly $43K, which is over $3000 more than the base V6. And as the numbers below attest, it's not exactly the fastest SUV we've ever tested. That said, the diesel engine works well in the Touareg, doling out torque right when you need a stiff push in the back. It's quiet, too, and according to the EPA it will return 25 mpg on the highway. See what our road test editor thought about what it can do at the test track after the jump.
