There are more diesel hybrids coming to the market, but you're right, weight,cost and space are all factors preventing the development of diesel hybrids. You'll notice those that do exist are usually...

Well don't get too excited just yet, it's apparently going to cost close to £20,000 and that's IF they produce it. No doubt VW are holding fire on a few future projects until all the emission fines...

Ben, just read about the new VW twin up hybrid coming soon. Sounds like our kind of car, fitted with a tiny 0.8 litre TDI engine and an electric motor capable of 30-35 miles too, they say it will do...

What about a Vauxhall Ampera? They are sold as a Chevy Volt in the Us, a few people are getting over 200 Mpg in them. You can't buy a new one anymore, they didn't sell too well here.
