The current VW Passat is available with a 1.4 TSI and is the same size as the V70. The displacement of the 1.4 TSI is only 1390 cc. For those that only speak in old school units: 1390 cc = 85 cubic inches.

The worst and biggest, you ask? "Hybrids are eco-friendly". If you think otherwise, compare manufacturing a hybrid with a 'regular' car, especially the batteries.

That diesels are noisy, smoky truck motors for rednecks, bros, and long haulers. (US specific)
