Diesel option costs nearly what the hybrid option does. (compared to buying a Yaris)

Diesel fuel is currently 25% MORE than gasoline. Explain how paying a premium for a diesel engine PLUS 25% more for fuel is going to cost LESS.

I await your answer and if you are right I will be the firt to admit it.

The Yaris is getting old. The engine is old, there are other cars that are starting to get 40 mpg, and Yaris is essentially the same car as it was back in 2006. In today's world of car's being completely redesigned every 3 to 4 years, having basically the same car in 2012 as 2006 leads you to think it is outdated. I don't know if the term quality is what I think of when I think of the Yaris. Do a google search on quality car and Yaris doens't come up. Reliable, yes....quality...no. Its cheap, has the basics, and and will last over 300K miles so longevity and quality don't meet at the Toyota dealer under the line of Yaris cars.

As for the diesel, I think if enough are produced, the cost will not be 25% more. I personally would like to have one as it would give you better mileage. Now I don't know the cost of diesel fuel in your area, but here in Indy, diesel fuel is only 7& more expensive.

Multiple the savings by 300k miles and I believe you will come out ahead in the long run.
