This beautiful machine has 180 horses, a 0-60 time of 6.2 seconds, and gets 42 miles per gallon of………diesel.  That’s right, it has a 1.8L TDI (TurboDiesel Injection) motor that gets mileage comparable to a Prius and better than any American made hybrid vehicle.  When you look at the production cost of a hybrid, along with the negative environmental effects of discarding toxic batteries after about five years, a clean burning, efficient diesel begins to make a lot more sense.  Plus, this little machine is soooo sexy.  I hope they make it.  More on this beauty at Jalopnik
