It was almost like: "Oh, btw we also have petrol engines." KERS and a hybrid will also be available. The 2l turbo diesel has much more torque than the 3l in-line six petrol. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />I think 2010 will see many diesel options coming into our market, now that we have Euro 2 fuel and will move up the quality chain. Wait for the masters of small car diesels: the French. Can you imagine the value for money that a 1.3l diesel will give at 3-4 litres per 100km? At RM70 road tax...</blockquote>
