Unless it's a German diesel wagon, like an Audi (gas only in US), and has the rear facing seats in the trunk for small children. Other than that, look for a Mercedes.. I mean haha /dodge/ Sprinter van with a diesel engine, at 20mpg. You’re not going to find one.

The consumer will decide which one is better. My 2 cents: Americans need to buy smaller cars, period. The consumer will decide which one is better.

But nothing is going to happen because this country is full of conservative red-state twits who will continue to vote against their own best interests. (Because, you know, Obama's a secret Muslim and the president should be a stupid white guy you can have a beer with) The number one factor that is driving jobs out of the US is that every other industrilized country has nationalized health care and nationalized energy. And guys like tony who instead of looking real problems in the face, make absurd claims like "the japanesse (sic) sponsor this website ." Corey Johanssen,

Spend some time in other parts of the world and you will hear the truth about our country, our big mistakes, our own poverty that goes ignored, and how America set itself up for a spiraling economic decline. It is amazing how 3rd world countries have easy access to vehicles that get 50 MPG. I know I have rented them while abroad. We were never interested in these vehicles because bigger was better, gas was cheap, as cheap as 1.00 a gallon only 9 years ago. So we ignored all the warnings that came with global warming and greener vehicles. What have the big "3" US auto makers thinking the last 10 years with big SUV's, 2 passenger pick up trucks with 5.7 gas engines? Our TV sets have bombarded us every day with Silverado and Hummer commercials. These vehicles are the size of Garbage trucks. The fuel efficient alternatives have existed for almost a century now. We can blame Exxon, Shell, Sunoco, Mobil and Texaco along with General Motors, Ford and Chrysler and their lobbyists and politicians for keeping the technology at bay and off of America's car lots. They have milked our pockets for decades, when are we going to wake up and say "ENOUGH"? Enough with oil consumption, enough with gas guzzling vehicles. It is time our Government penalize and tax the super rich oil companies and American car companies for not investing in alternative fuels and technologies. Times are not changing, they have already changed and many countries are advancing rapidly, when will America wake up and STOP producing wasteful citizens, cars, homes and government. It is our people that must change whether we like it or not by making conservation efforts and refusing to purchase products that consume excessively. What will it take? Most Americans are tapped and cannot afford to live comfortably anymore. We are overtaxed and overburdened with increases on everything except our paychecks. It is time we stand up. We have a MAJOR CRISIS here at home like we have never had before in the History of the United States. I am deeply saddened by our times. My family has sold our second family car, we purchased 5 bicycles to get into town and the rail and bus station, we purchased a motorized gas scooter that seats 2 and gets 80 miles to the gallon for local trips. It seems it has all become about conservation. We stopped watering our lawn last year and are currently shopping for a 200 gallon PVC tank that we plan to bury underground in our backyard, this tank will catch rainwater coming off the gutters of the house and will then be pumped out to water our lawn and garden when needed. I have shared my story with you in the hopes that you too, your children and grandchildren will waste less resources in daily life.
