"PZEV-Capable Diesel
A world first. This twin-turbocharged V-6 diesel not only provides 431 lb.-ft. of torque, it’s 97% cleaner than the Tier 1 emissions standard for NOx. Simply amazing."

Yeah, and were more likely to be transported in tubes than ever see something that on our shores. Its another case of "Hey TDI'ers Look what we did, wouldn't that be nice? Here you go Europe" No offence to those across the the pond, just that our elected officals are pretty slow when it comes to addaption actuall worthwile solutions.

Sorry to get carried away there.

that site didn't give much detail. got any more info on the hybrid part of it? from the name, I gather it is capable of running on the electric motor at times. Is this so?
