A hybrid diesel for North America seems like a stretch, but given how many prefer pickup trucks for the long haul, it may work.

Cool!

The German manufacturers may be staying out since they were all in some way affected by the fallout of the scandal. BMW, Mercedes, and Audi used to have a few diesel options before the scandal and now none do in the US market anyway.


Would be a cool option as I think those who love Diesel would really enjoy it in a PHEV combo.
