With 109g/km CO2, doubt it. Hybrid technology is valid, it's not the ultimate but it is a valid technology. I have the car for money saving reasons as it's only £59 per month on 40% tax whereas the cheapest Passat would be around £200. Petrol is cheaper and cleaner than Diesel and road tax is significantly cheaper. You are in the hybrid forum by the way, thought I'd better check that you knew that
Can't wait for the first diesel hybrid later this year, very interesting concept. Remember, re-couping energy lost in braking just makes sense, the biggest struggle is for the hybrid to lose the Grandad image!
