The campaign to clean up the oil-burner's image also takes on hybrids
Enlarge PhotoAmericans don't know what to think about diesel, and when they do, they usually think it's a clattery, foul-smelling solution best left to freight-movers and trains. But the reality of today's diesel-powered cars is much different, and
Volkswagen is out to inform the public through a new site called 'TDI Truth & Dare'.
Focusing on racing accomplishments,
green credentials, tax credits and comparative benefits over
hybrids, the new VW site aims to fun-wash the already green-washed clean diesel technology in its Jetta and Touareg vehicles.
For a taste of just what the Germans are doing to make the Jetta TDI seem like a better buy than a
hybrid or other alternative, check out this Jetta TDI vs.
Toyota Prius video from the site below.
