Re: Five Diesels from Europe that will out-eco a Prius

If that A2's engine was in an A4.. then you could drive it and watch snails overtake you.

Honestly, there's no reason why those cars can't be more efficient than a Prius - they're a full size-category smaller. They'd better be more efficient!

Anyhow, as for the ML320 CDI being more efficient, I remember a review somewhere where they drove one across a large distance and compared it to a RX400h (or whatever it is) on the same trip. The ML was overall more fuel efficient, by a bit; more so on the open road and less so in the city.
