It is as much a hatchback as the Lexus. Difference is that you can actually see out the back and take stuff!
I have a Golf TDI and really like it. I believe that it will be cheaper on the interstate than the other contenders, because it will do real world 50 mpg if you stay out of it. I have
averaged over 42 mpg with mine in one year, much of it in stop and go interstate traffic.
Kaisen, you keep saying that Diesel is more $ than gas and use examples of >10%. It isn't the case right now. I'd love to have the raw data on this graph to tell the average % premium over time. How do we predict the future delta?
Here some more food for thought:

I can see it coming, it will be the 750iL.
