Small diesel cars and hybrids look very, very good. Modern diesels are getting really good mileage (50+ mpg) and are much better in emissions initially and over time (less emissions equipment to wear out or fail). The hybrids are even better (predictions of 80+ mpg). Most commuters should be driving these vehicles.

I read an article a few weeks ago stating hybrids, particularly diesel hybrids, have far more promise in the next 6-10 yrs vs. fuel cell and battery powered vehicles. Of course, with artificial stimulus (tax credits, gov. funding) or abnormal market conditions ($8/gallon gasoline), who knows.

I don't see fuel cells replacing combustion engines in 10 yrs for the reasons jyl mentioned (infrastructure changes).
