Although the automakers would likely have you fooled, its alternative energy vehicles aren't exactly the hottest commodity since gold was under a $1,000 smackers an ounce.
But that's the key here: these cars are a limited commodity. That means there are relatively few takers whether it is a hybrid or an oil burner.
Considering there are TONS of hybrid cars available -- or in the pipeline -- and diesel vehicles are starting to rekindle their romance with the US consumer, we've been left trying to sort out WHICH of the two is ultimately more successful.
Sure you can say that Audi has been "in the money" with the Q7 TDI, which has reportedly made up approximately half of the Q7s sales; however, the Q7 hasn't been a volume product in recent years. Hell, even the entry-level A3, which also has a TDI making up around 50 percent of sales, isn't a volume seller.
As I sit and speculate I have to wonder: WHICH buyer is harder to find? A HYBRID buyer or a DIESEL buyer?
Let us know which has gained more traction within your inner circle? Are folks still clinging onto their gas products OR have they jumped ship to a cleaner world with higher mpgs?
