Why does it seem as if you are digging for something? Where did you get the misconception that I am bothered by fuel cell vehicles? (Or did you just make that up?)

Stock in diesel? No. But yeah... I do have a diesel. And I'm as enamoured with it's triats as you probably are with your high redline. That's just how enthusiasts tend to be.

How many years of Studenting did you need to make the outlandish claim that New Technology is great? Personally, I love the Fuel Cell concepts. And as an engineer, new technology is something that's part of my life every day. But Hybrids are nothing more than several old technology compromises being stuck together with some flashy circuitry.

And just because it's perceived as "New Technology", doesn't automatically mean it's the only good thing out there. With proper fuel (either ULSD or Bio-D), VW can extract 150hp and over 300 ft-lbs out of the same 1.9L engine that we get here. All that, and still returning 50 mpg. Not bad for "Old" Technology, huh?

M&F came here spouting drama, as if this was ClubSI. I did not. I just wanted to clear up some obvious misconceptions folks have with the current generation of clean diesels. Sorry if that's not what you were looking for.
