It's one car I lust after. There have been a couple TDI Jetta and Jetta wagons that I've seen in L.A.
Heck, I even saw a BMW 335d while coming off the freeway yesterday, which is another on my short list of cars I'd like to own.
Sadly, in this city, everyone thinks the Prius is the only worthwhile fuel efficient vehicle, and that diesels equate to old school buses and big rigs.
The ad agencies for either of the four manufacturers with diesels - Mercedes, BMW, Audi and VW - should hire a big-name Hollywood actor to tout the benefits of diesel. Sales would go through the roof, as many in L.A. need Hollywood to think and make decisions for them.
