[Vwdiesel] rabbit commercial?

Hybrid shmibrid!  We are sure being taken down the garden path here in North

powered hybrid cars are such a wrong solution idea when a simple and
reliable technology (remember the KISS principle) will blow it away for much
less $$$$.

Where can I get a 1.2 L TDI Polo?
