Default Re: Is the Hybrid really the solution?

I am an avid fan of Top Gear (the real one) and they often preview new cars being introduced in Britian and Europe.

Last year they previewed a VW Golf with a small turbo diesel that got 75 mpg and many other cars that were in the 50mpg range.

We don't have these cars for various reasons but mostly because of emissions and safety rules. Since global warming has been exposed as based on falsified documents and we have probably "over-relied" on safety, why don't we let these cars into the U.S. and save a lot of gas?
