FobzyYou wanted a post on Diesel - well this is for you.

It's rather surprising just how many cars offer the diesel alternative and I have put together a small selection for you here. Diesel means you get more miles to the gallon as in the Prius, but if you run it on biodiesel, a form of diesel made from vegetable oil or animal fat, it would be even cleaner than a Prius (Priuses get 60 in the city).
The advantage of diesel cars, however, is that they pack a lot of power.
Mazda 6 Diesel makes Mazda, which is the country’s top-selling full-line importer, the only Japanese car maker offering a diesel passenger car in Australia.
The point here is, that Diesel should be on top of the list when it comes to buying a family car. For for all of you out there who are looking at getting a Holden Commodore or a Ford Falcon, please, just give the other cars a chance, go test drive a Mazda6 or a Subaru Impreza or a Honda Civic/Accord and see what you think first.
So what exactly do you get out of a Diesel engine? Combined fuel economoy of just 5.9L/100km sound. Or how about the fact that it can travel more than 1000 kilometres on a tank of fuel.
The Mazda6 Diesel wagon, which is priced at $35,205 comes with climate control air-conditioning, and lots of other features.
And that was a VW for the little ladies.
They are starting to look good aren't they?
But despite this one's BMW tag, I don't think this make will have the usual BMW appeal. What do you think?
It's not so much on which make you choose but if you choose, just do it.
And not a red in sight.

But I won't go for that "Bimmer" at the bottom.
